Melvin The Looney Gooney Bird Game
2–4 players · 10 min · 4+
This is a children's dexterity game that features Melvin, an electronic plastic bird with a big open beak atop a long flexible neck. To begin, place Melvin on the floor in an open area. Each player takes a colored stick that matches the color of 5 worms. The 20 rubber worms are placed on the floor 5-10 feet away. Melvin is then turned on and he begins jumping, turning, and flapping his wings causing his neck and head to wobble around. The players then rush to pick up a worm using only their stick and then drop it into his mouth. The first player to "feed" him all 5 of his or her worms is the winner.
