You need: a toothpick for each competitor. Preferably a good quality one with a round shaft. 1 marshmallow for each team - Pascal's are softest and stickiest (i.e. most successful)

Divide into teams, stand in line. Give each player 1 toothpick to place in their mouth. Place a marshmallow on the front player's toothpick. On 'go' the teams race to get the marshmallow to the last team member by passing the marshmallow down the line from toothpick to toothpick (no hands), leaving each toothpick in the marshmallow.

You need: Jar of vegemite, a spoon per team, tissues/mapkins/hand towel and water (face wipes are the best)

Divide into teams, stand in line. Place blob of vegemite on front player's nose. On 'go' teams are to pass the vegemite down the line nose to nose (no hands). The teams with the most vegemite on the last player's nose wins.

Alternative: You can use elbows if faces are too threatening.

You need: Tin of Fruit saline/salvital. 1 spoon per player, Bucket and sheet of plastic, watch and timer. Glasses of water and a towel may be helpful.

Call for volunteers (I would never force this on to anyone) One at a time, place an equal spoon of fruit saline in each player's mouth and a sip of water/soft drink. They are to hold it as long as they can (no swallowing). The longest time wins.

You need: For each pair, 1 blindfold, a bowl and plastic spoon (it's safer), cereal and milk, table and chair

Call for pairs of volunteers. Sit player A on chair with hand behind their back. Blindfold player B then get them to kneel behind the chair and place their arms around A. (They will pretend their hands belong to player A.) Place cereal in bowl on table in front of A. B is now to feed A the food. Player A may give instructions.

To make this game more complex you could add a second task, such as drinking something or spreading bread with jam and eating it. Use soft plastic implements wherever possible.

You need: 1 clean washed orange or onion per player

Competitors race to eat the entire fruit or vegetable as quickly as possible, including the skin/peel.

You need: 1 Tim tam per player. 1 medium hot drink per player

Competitors bit a small piece off diagonally opposite corners of their timtams. Using the timtam as a straw, they race to suck the drink through the timtam, empty the cup and get the timtam into their mouth before it completely melts.

You need: A six pack of Coke or similar fizzy drink

Ask for six volunteers. Shake one can of drink, then mix the cans up. Players select a can each. On go, they open the can right under their nose and race to drink.

You need: Several clean overhead transparencies.

Call up two students. Get them standing face to face with an overhead transparenct held between their mouths. (Yes it will look as if their kissing) Using a combination of sucking and blowing, they must be the first person to hold the transparency to their face sole (without the second player's face attached) for 3 seconds. No hands allowed.

You need: 2 working water pistols filled with water, and a can of shaving cream.

Choose 2 volunteers. Place a dob of shaving cream on each player's nose. Give them a water pistol each. Stand them back to back. At your call they are to take 3 paces, turn and shoot the other player by being the first to wash the shaving cream off their opponents nose

You need: 1 egg per team, cup or other container per team (to put leftover egg into)

Divide players into teams and devise a relay course to run around. Break an egg into the starter of each team's hands. Each player is to run round the course holding the egg in their hands before handing it on to the next team member

You need: An old pair of stockings per contestant (clean), a small tub of yoghurt, preferably with fruit, per player, a spoon per player, a tarp to play on and cleaning equipment.

Call out contestants and get them to pull the stocking over their face. Hand them each a tub of joghurt and a spoon. On go they race to eat all their yoghurt through the stocking fruit and all. Watch out. This is a messy one!!
