The first game was the Oreo Stack Relay which consisted of a line of people holding chopsticks. They had to be shoulder to shoulder and pass an Oreo using chopsticks until the last student stacked it on the table. The class with the most stacked Oreos in ninety seconds won. The second game was the Egg Roll. This game used a single
participant from each team. Contestants had to use a pencil held in their mouths to roll an egg from one end of the gym to the other. The Ping Pong Ball Cup Catch required one person to bounce a ball into a cup held by another person. Once the ball was in the cup, the cup and ball were moved to the bottom of the stack. The Cup Stack required great balance and concentration as cups were stacked one on top of each other forming four towers of cups. During 52- Card Pick Up, a contestant was wrapped with duct tape,
sticky side out. This person rolled on cards scattered on the floor to gather as many as possible.
The Cotton Ball Relay saw participants holding a cotton ball using a straw, while running across the gym and dropping the cotton ball in a cup. The Tissue Pull required participants to pull a single tissue at a time out of a box trying to be the first to empty the box.
