Learn how to play Bite the Bag/ Bite the Box (the name is interchangeable, depending on what supplies you have lying around the house). This game is very easy to learn, and will challenge your flexibility, balance and ability to “drop it low”. Bite the Box is very easy to learn, and great for groups of any size. Don’t fret if you have guests who aren’t athletic. This game is as hilarious to watch as it is to play. The supplies can be found in most homes, but if you don’t have an empty box, try playing one of our word games.
Players: 3+
Gear
- cereal box/ paper bag
- Scissors
Setup
Have players stand in a large circle. Place box/bag in the middle of the circle.
How To Play Bite The Bag
- Choose a player to go first
- Player must try and reach down and pick up the box/bag however they must follow TWO rules. They can only touch the box using their mouth, and they can only touch the ground with their feet. (In other words hands cannot touch the box or the ground. Keep them behind your back if it’s too tempting.)
- If the player is unsuccessful they must leave the circle, if they are successful they have made it into the next round.
- Player to the immediate right tries next. Keep playing until each player has had a turn.
- Once each player has had a turn you will cut an inch off the top of the box using the scissors.
- As the box gets shorter, the game gets harder.
- Continue to play until one player remains
This game is absolutely hilarious. Players will tumble and fall as they try to reach down for the box.
