The simple design of a candy cane allows for playful party game options.
Candy Cane Fishing
- Cut out 3-inch long fish shapes from foam craft sheets.
- Make holes near the fishes' mouth large enough for a candy cane to fit through.
- Fill a big red plastic tub with water.
- Float fish on water. Fish should lay flat on the water's surface.
- Give each player a candy cane to try and hook the fish with the candy cane. Consider keeping the plastic wrap on the candy cane for this game.
Candy Cane Relay
- Have teams line up behind a starting point.
- Determine a "run to" point that is a straight shot from the starting point.
- Give each team a candy cane as a relay baton.
- Each racer must hold the candy cane by its hook using his or her finger.
- On "go" the first player on each team races to the "run to" point, then back to the starting point.
- The candy cane is passed to the next player on the team who must hook it on his or her finger, race to the "run to" point and back, passing off the candy cane to the next runner and so on.
- The team who completes the relay first wins.
