On the day I did this search, I found quite a number of YouTube channels solely dedicated to users' practicing and showing off their Minute to Win It game skills. Here are a few of my favorites:

Moreover, regional fairs and festivals are adding Minute to Win It-like games at their events! Really, there are too many to publish and link from here, but here are two for the purpose of example:

Hey there, LoudmouthLee here! Thanks for the shoutout!
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I DVR triple D and think that Guy's a hell of a host. Thank goodness he took down the Next Food Network Star!
I appreciate the love, though. I'm just way too competitive! :)
Haha! Love what you're doing, LmL. I really had fun watching your videos and so many of the others. Honestly, watching the home vid's is just about as much fun as watching the show!
ReplyDelete:) ~D
My students love it as well. I run an after school program called "Minute Games" where the kids play and learn the science behind some of the games. I have one student who races me every afternoon in "Caddy Stack." It saddens me to say that he's currently much better at the game than I am. :)
ReplyDeleteLmL, that's fascinating! And admirable of you to run an after school program. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't mention it in this blog post, but I did stumble across a post (somewhere?), a student asking for help on the principles of physics used in the games. Apparently it was a school assignment?
Anyway, someone replied to the post with explanations that included pendulum motion, momentum, centers of axes, etc.
Heady stuff! And interesting to read some of the science behind the games.
