Minion Nerf Game

My kiddos love their Nerf products and enjoy creating different games to use their Nerf guns in fun ways. I like that this Minion Nerf Game can be an in or outside activity so it’s perfect all year long and would be a fun party game, too!

How to Create the Pool Noodle Minions:

First, I took a yellow pool noodle, cut it with sharp scissors into various lengths from 5 to 7 inches.

I used cardstock to print this free download for the eyes and mouth, had the kiddos cut them out and used glue dots to attach them to the noodles.

Then they added a strip of blue paper for the pants, attaching with glue dots again.

We cut black pipe cleaners into various lengths and stuck them in the top for the hair. The one noodle yielded 11 Minions for us.

You could add point values on the overalls as well but my crew just wanted to start playing so we skipped it! There was intense strategy plotting going on!

Set the minions up and fire away!

For the photos Griffin is a lot closer than you’d want to be, have those kiddos stand back and make it a challenge!

Minion Pool Noodle Bowling

The girls decided bowling was another way to use those Minions so they grabbed a tennis ball and had their own fun. These Minions held up very well, considering 5 kids were constantly tossing them, shooting at them, and knocking them over.

I’m thrilled to report that these Minions kept our minions busy for hours, inside and out. These would be great for a school carnival game, a Minion or Despicable Me birthday party, VBS, or a summer afternoon at home. They were easy and inexpensive to create and party guests could take a few home as favors, too!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
