Spring Minute to Win It Games: Fast, Easy, and Fun Ideas for Every Party

Whether you’re hosting a spring birthday party, classroom celebration, family BBQ, or just need some last-minute party games, Minute to Win It-style challenges are always a hit.

The best part? You don’t need anything fancy.

These spring minute to win it games are fast, easy, and either cheap or totally free.

I’ve included some printable spring games from my shop to mix in, plus loads of ideas that use things you already have at home.

Here are my go-to Spring Minute to Win It games for both kids and adults!

1- Cotton Ball Scoop

Give kids a spoon and a bowl of cotton balls. They have 60 seconds to transfer as many as they can into an empty bowl—blindfolded.

2- Jelly Bean Sort

Use spring-colored jelly beans and a muffin tin. Kids race to sort by color in under a minute. So simple, and you can snack afterward!

3- Plastic Egg Stack

How many plastic Easter eggs can they stack before the timer runs out?

Hint: it’s harder than it looks!

4- Anagram Race

This one’s part of my Spring Game Collection, and it works like a charm at spring classroom parties.

Kids get 60 seconds to make as many words as they can from the word SPRINGTIME.

I’ve played this at school events and the kids love it. It’s quick, silly, and perfect to adapt into a race—who can finish the most phrases correctly in 60 seconds?

Players have one minute to stack artificial flowers as high as they can—no glue, just balance! It’s harder than it looks!

15- Paper Airplane Launch

Everyone folds a paper airplane and has one minute to get it as close to a target as possible. Best for backyard get-togethers or casual brunches.
