Junk In The Trunk
Fasten an empty tissue box to a belt and put the belt around the contestant, with the box resting on their lower back. Fill the box with 8 Ping Pong balls. The goal is for the player to get all 8 balls out of the box in less than 60 seconds (without anything but their feet touching the floor.) This game makes for funny photos, too.

Depending on the crowd, you could also play the rap song Junk in the Trunk by Blaque/Akiva (or My Humps by Black Eye's Peas with great references to junk in the trunk) for the 1 minute of play. Music can add a lot to the party atmosphere.

Caddy Stack
Your contestant will have 60 seconds to stack 3 golf balls, one on top of the other, and it must remain free standing for at least 3 seconds. Talk about easy!

If you are teaching or training and using this game as an icebreaker, it may be thematic to play a clip from the movie Caddyshack (that ties to your lesson) prior to the game. People love this comedic and timeless movie and contestants will be totally ready to play!

Contagious
Place 3 full soda cans in a vertical stack on a table. Place 3 empty soda cans in a different stack on the table. When the 60 second clock starts, player must use one hand to lift one stack, and the other hand to lift the other stack.

The goal is to transfer all full cans to the hand that did not pick them up and the stack of empty cans to the hand that did not pick them up. Player cannot set the cans down or use any body part other than their hands to transfer the cans. Player wins when both stacks have been transferred and are set back on the table, freestanding for 3 seconds (in a minute or less.)

Shoe Fly Shoe
Set 12 shoes in a row 9' from a table. Player must get 1 shoe to land on the table, in less than a minute. Player can only use legs and feet and cannot move closer to the table.

Sticky Situation
Cover one piece of bread with peanut butter and place the bread, buttered side up on a small platform (stool.) Have contestant stand 9' away with a bowl of ping pong balls. The goal is to have the player successfully bounce a ping pong ball off the floor, fly up and stick to the peanut butter - in under 60 seconds.
