Daily Idea #345: Barrel of Monkeys

Who doesn’t love the game “Barrel of Monkeys”? Trying to get those little monkeys to hang from each other’s tails is difficult yet so much fun. As I was researching for today’s daily idea, I came across another mom’ post complaining about how they always loose the monkeys; she started using hangers as game pieces instead! So for today’s daily idea we are going to do just that.

You’ll need 12 hangers and a laundry basket. Place all of the hangers in the basket and dump them into the middle of the floor. Taking turns, each player starts with one hanger and tries to hook another hanger. Keep trying to hook a hanger onto the bottom one until one of the hangers drops. Whoever can hang the most in one change is the winner.
