Quick Overview:
National Duct Tape Days happen over Father’s Day weekend every year, and we decided to pay honor to Duct Tape with a game. The game starts with the floor littered with little toy bugs and the only way to pick them up is to wrap duct tape around your teammate (sticky side out) and let them roll around for 60 seconds. Whoever gets the most bugs to stick to them wins!
Supplies You’ll Need:
1. Duct Tape. We played with 2 teams competing head to head, so we only needed 2 rolls of Duct Tape. That should be enough, but it’s always good to have some back up rolls ready.
2. Toy Bugs. I found some cheap plastic bugs at Target for couple bucks a bag. The more bugs the better.
Prep:
Just scatter the bugs all over the floor. Now you’re ready to celebrate Duct Tape Days.
Game Play:
We played with teams of 2 going head to head. The bugs are scattered all over the floor before the clock starts. We started the clock at 60 seconds and then teams begin to wrap their tape around one of their teammates (sticky side out). After they feel that they’ve spent enough time wrapping, they then need to start rolling. I think about 35 seconds wrapping and 25 seconds rolling is a good ratio. Whichever team gets the most bugs to stick to them wins!
