This is a fun and competitive game played with small candy canes and large LifeSavers. Divide the teenagers into teams of four people, and provide each team with a box filled with small candy canes and LifeSavers candies. Then, blindfolding each team (or perhaps taking turns by 3-minute increments), teams compete to see which one can assemble the longest candy cane chain using only the canes and the LifeSavers, which serve as connectors. Hint: the LifeSavers must be used on the strait ends of the canes to serve as connectors. Time each team; the team with the longest chain in 3 minutes can receive a prize.
