Christmas in the Balance

Teammates hang 10 Christmas tree ornaments on a yardstick that sits atop an upright wrapping paper tube

INSTRUCTIONS

When the clock starts, contestants may begin placing the yardstick on the upright wrapping paper tube.

Once the yardstick is balanced on the tube, contestants may begin to hang ornaments on the yardstick in the designated zones on the ends.

Each contestant may hang only his or her 5 ornaments one at a time.

Once each contestant has placed the first ornament onto the yardstick and released hands from the ornament, neither contestant may touch the tube or yardstick or the game is over.

After the first 2 ornaments are placed on the yardstick and the hands are released from the ornaments, any collapse of the structure will result game over.

To complete the game, the yardstick, tube and ornaments must be freestanding within the 60-second time limit and must remain that way for 3 seconds.
