Bean Game

This is an “all-nighter” game, perfect for lock-ins, etc. As kids arrive, each one is given a bag of 10 pinto beans. After all kids have arrived and everyone has their beans, announce the “special” word for the night (I used the word “NO”). Explain that if anyone says the special word at any time throughout the night, that individual must pay 1 bean to anyone else who hears it said. This game ROCKS and can go on for hours!! Our kids had a blast with it. Watch out though for those “tight-wads” who won’t pay-up! The kid with the most beans at the end of the night (or designated time period) wins game. Too cool.
