Have you ever bobbed for apples? If not, you will need a big tub of water, apples (obviously), and a group of people willing to get their faces/bodies wet. Here are some further instructions:First..
find a big enough tub that at least two people can get their heads in at the same time. The tub can either be waist high..or if they are kneeling..chest high
Second..
fill the tub, but leave enough space at the top of the tub so the water doesn't over flow, about 4-6 inches.
Third..
Put several apples in the tub of water
Fourth..
Have the first two or three players put their hands behind their backs..and say "GO" and have each of the contestants try to grab an apple in their mouths, and the first player to catch an apple in their mouth WINS!

Why is this game so much fun? When you really stop and think about it it's just plain gross. Everyone is in the same bucket with their mouths all over the apples. There is spit floating around. It's really like sticking your face in a big tub of backwash. Yet, we still love it! It's fun to get soaking wet in the name a good time!
I have never been apple bobbing, though one time in like first grade we went doughnut…I guess I would call it pecking, instead of the apple tank our teacher decided to put little doughnuts on some string and we pull it off the string. Kind of the same concept…..
That's really interesting to think about. I guess I just never put into the amount of germs passed around through this amusing, childhood game. It really is like a huge tub of backwash, huh? Well that's definitely some food for thought if I've ever seen it.
I remember playing it at my birthday party once. It was a combined birthday party for my brother and me because our birthdays are close together. It was in the fall around Halloween and it was one of the party games! I also remember making a little boy cry somehow... good times!
