SNOT IT (KD GROUP)
- It is the gross game of boogey fun – can you collect the most snots? To play, fill the spinning cup with the foam snot pieces and put on your nose glasses with dangling slime attached! Spin the spinner to find out how many snot pieces you need to pick up, then try to pick up that many pieces from the cup using only your nose slime – no hands!
- If you pick up the right number of snots, you get to keep them all. If you pick up more than you were supposed to, you must put them all back.
- Try to avoid the purple snot – if you grab one, you’ll have to scream “SNOT IT!” before any of your opponents do. If you don’t say it first, you must put one snot back into the cup.
