Gathering Snowballs

As the families gather, present each with a nametag, on which you have left the room to write a number.  The set-up for this game is a table on which you have placed cotton balls (be sure to have quite a few).  You also need either wooden or good-sized plastic spoons all the same size.  As players enter the room have them see how many cotton balls they can gather in an allotted time (10 or 15 seconds) and write their total on their nametag.  Remember, with the spoon only; no hands allowed.  At the end of the game, award a small prize for the one who collected the most balls.
