Melt the Ice Cube Race

 

Divide the kids into pairs. The adult should stand on one side of the yard, holding a dish of ice cubes. On your signal, one person from the pair runs to you and grabs an ice cube from you. The runner then begins to rub the ice cube in his hands to get it to melt. (The ice cube must stay in the hands only) When the 1st person can't tolerate the cold any longer, they call for their partner to run to them and take the ice cube. The 1st pair to completely melt their cube wins.
