Last week The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird had her last sleepover. {Sniff, Sniff}. She’s been bff’s with the same group of girls since the 6th grade. Seriously, who who said she could grow up and move on, and just when I was getting into the swing of life?
In order to make the most of some of their last days together, we decided to have a bunch of kids over and play the frozen tee shirt game one last time. Let me tell you, it was a hoot to watch.
You’ll Need:
Plastic grocery bags
One t-shirt per participant
Water
Freezer
Directions:
A couple of days before you plan to play, soak each t-shirt in water and then wring in out, removing as much water as possible. Once you have wrung it out, fold the t-shirt {into a square, department store style, so that it fits nicely into the bag}. Slip the shirt into the grocery bag and fold the sides over. Let the bags sit in the freezer for a couple of days.
When it is time for the game, give each player {or team} a bag with a frozen shirt. Tell them they need to thaw the shirt by whatever means they can come up with in order to put it on. {This is where the laughter starts. They will sit on the shirt, try to get it on way before it’s possible, etc.} The first person to get their t-shirt on wins the game.
The Girl and her friends seriously had a blast. Ah, good times!

Hmm! Did anyone try to take the frozen shirt indoors to microwave it? If a rule isn’t stated, it doesn’t exist… (I’m into using whatever tools are available.)
How long can a propane torch flame touch a shirt before it scorches?
Hot water or hot rocks?
Age and experience can outwit youthful exuberance!
