Pole in the Hole

By Tonia

I have an outdoor party at my house each June where we participate in various “Olympic Events.” Always looking for new ideas, one of my girlfriends sent me this link to a game called Pole in the Hole. We played it and loved it. Give it a try! It’s pee-your-pants hysterical. Click here

What you need:

Two toilet bowl plungers

Two rolls of toilet paper

Directions:

Stand two people at one end of a playing area. Have each of them hold a roll of toilet paper between their legs - somewhere between their knees and their crotch - with the hole facing out so everyone can see it.

At the other end of the playing area (opposite the two players described above) put the rest of the players in two lines (creating “teams”). The two people in the front of the lines place the toilet bowl plungers between their legs - somewhere between their knees and crotch – so that the pole sticks out in the front of their bodies.

Someone shouts, “GO!”

The players with the plungers then move as fast as they can to get to the player at the other end of the playing area with the toilet paper rolls. They must do this without losing the plunger. When the plunger holders get to the toilet paper holders, they must stick the pole (of the plunger) in the hole (of the toilet paper roll), without using their hands.

When this has been successfully accomplished, players exchange equipment (toilet paper roll holders take the plunger and the plunger holders take the toilet paper rolls); former plunger holders now place the toilet paper rolls between their legs and former toilet paper roll holders take the plungers and run back to their lines where they hand off the plungers to the people who are at the front of the lines.

These new plunger holders now place the plungers between their legs and move as fast as they can to get to the player at the other end of the playing area with the toilet paper rolls. This continues until all players have had both a toilet paper roll and a plunger between their legs. The first team to successfully accomplish this wins.

HINT: Players will be more successful if they are careful not to squish the toilet paper roll between their legs as this will close the hole and make it more difficult for plunger holders to get their poles in the holes.
