How to play
Divide into teams of three to five. Sit one volunteer from each team on a chair and wrap a garbage bag around their shoulders. Spray a shaving cream beard onto their cheeks and chin, keeping well clear of eyes, nose and mouth. The rest of the team lines up two metres away and takes turns throwing Cheesels at the beard. After five minutes, or when the Cheesels run out, count what has stuck. Most Cheesels wins.
