About the activity
Step 1
Lay your candy canes out on a table. They can be crossed over in a heap or laid out flat, depending on how difficult you’d like the challenge to be.
Step 2
Holding one of the candy canes in their mouth, players are challenged to lean over and hook as many candy canes from the table as possible, without using their hands to help them.
Step 3
The winner is the player who manages to hook the most candy canes within a given time period (i.e. one minute). Players can take it in turns one at a time, or race against one another to hook the most at once.
