- When my children were little, one of their favorite games was called flour tower. To play the game you take a cup of flour and make a stand-alone flour tower. Once the tower is made you put a penny on top. The object of the game is to remove the flour around the penny without making it fall. Each person playing flour tower game has a butter knife and takes turns cutting away the flour. The person who makes the penny fall has to put their hands behind their back and retrieve the penny with their teeth.
