The male half of the party is invited to participate in the contest. Each player is given a sheet of newspaper. The task of the players:

  • grab the unfolded newspaper by the end with the right hand
  • extend the arm with the newspaper forward
  • at the command of the host, crumple (squeeze) the entire newspaper into a fist without using the left hand

This is a speed challenge. The first one to crumple the entire newspaper into a fist is the winner.

Then you can switch hands and repeat the competition.

  2. Prepare fun and energetic music for the contest.
  3. Invite the female participants to join the competition as well.
