Materials needed: 2 or more plastic jugs, depending on the number of teams; approximately 200 grams of corn kernels; one chair per team.

Participants form two or more teams, depending on the number of participants, and line up in a row. Place one chair at the front of the line, with the backrest facing the participants. A plastic bottle is placed in front of each chair. Each participant receives two kernels of corn (the number is flexible; it can be increased after the first round), which they hold in the palm of their hand. Each player’s task is to drop as many kernels of corn as possible into the bottle without touching the chair or going around it. Kernels that fall next to the bottle cannot be picked up.

Teams are free to devise their own strategy (e.g., helping or picking up the smallest players). There is no set time limit. The team that collects the most kernels of corn in the bottle wins.
