• dowels - one for each pair
• string
• powder sugar donuts

Instructions

1. Tie a 3 foot piece of string to each dowel.
2. Attach a donut to the other end of the string by putting the string through the donut hole and tying it. If the donut does not have a good hole, use a skewer to poke the string through.
3. Have one member of each pair lie down on their back on the floor.
4. Give the other member of the pair the fishing pole. They should dangle the donut over their partner's mouth.
5. Their partner must try to eat the donut off of the string. No hands allowed!
6. The first pair with the donut eaten off of the string wins.

Notes for Donut Fishing Game:

• You can insist that the person on the floor keep the back of their head on the floor.
• You can also rule that the entire donut must be eaten, so that any pieces which fall off must be tied back on and fished to the person on the floor.
• For an added challenge, blindfold the person holding the pole. The person on the floor must give directions about how to position the donut.
