Crossfire


Get 3 small short shot glasses and 2 tennis balls. Put the shot glasses in the middle of a long table. There are 2 teams (one on each side of the table). Team 1 starts by "flicking" a tennis ball and trying to hit one of the shot glasses in order to move it closer to the opposite side of the table. "Flicking" is actually not the same way one would consider flicking. It is done by only using one finger to hit the ball and you must start with your finger free (not levered against your thumb). You have to be very strict about this or the game will be too easy. Picture someone shooing away a fly but only with one finger. The goal of the game is just like crossfire where you try to move the shot glasses off the other end of the table. Depending on the table you have to decide where the "goal" boundaries are, but basically you want to use at least the whole end of the table. 2/3 shot glasses wins the game. Losing team takes a shot.

Cheap and fun things to do around Minneapolis/St.Paul
