Italy's pasta relay--needed for each team--a plastic colander, plastic cup, bucket of water, empty bucket.--first in line has to place colander on head (upright--not like a hat) and then a cup of water is placed in the colander and they have to run to the other end and dump the water into the empty bucket--Team with the most water in the bucket at the end wins. Of course they will get soaked in the process.JAMAICA’S JAVELIN THROW
The first five players stand behind the line and throw their "Javelins" (Fun Noodles) one person at a time. Players may throw their javelins any way they wish. Mark where they have landed. Have the next five players continue as described above and so forth until all have a turn. IRELAND’S POTATO RACE
Line up in teams The first player on each team gets a hockey stick and a potato. On the signal to begin, these players will use the hockey stick to move the potato around the cone and back to the start where they will hand their hockey stick to the next player in line. This will continue as above until all team members have had a turn. JAPAN’S CHOP STICK RELAY
Players line up in teams with the first person from each team holding two chopsticks. On the signal to begin, the first player will pick up the rubber chicken from inside the hoop using only the chopsticks. (They may not use hands or stick the chop stick inside the chicken). They will have to bring the chicken down to their stir fry pan, then return the sticks to the next player in line, who then goes to the pan and must bring the chicken back to the group and the process continues until everyone has had a turn.
