- A video from a marriage retreat shows couples playing Hungry Hungry Humans
- The wives lay on rolling boards holding laundry baskets while the husbands push
- The couples furiously compete for balls piled in the middle of the circle
Hungry Hungry Hippos officially has a hybrid.
A hilarious video shows couples on a marriage retreat in Chicago playing a human version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
A pile of colored balls sits in the middle of a circle of couples.
Each wife is laying on her stomach on a rolling board holding a laundry basket while her husband holds her feet.
When the announcer says: ‘Go!’ the husbands step forward pushing their wives toward the pile and the wives try to capture as many balls as the can before pulling back and dropping them in their area.
Healthy competition: A hilarious video shows couples on a marriage retreat in Chicago playing a human version of Hungry Hungry Hippos with rolling boards and laundry baskets
Hope you’re hungry!: The wives lay on the boards holding laundry baskets to capture the balls and the husbands hold their feet to push and pull them in and out of the circle
Till death do us part?: Some husbands get a little too competitive by flinging their wives across the floor to get more balls, while a couple of the wives cheat by using their hands
Wacky music provides the perfect soundtrack as the couples furiously compete for the balls.
Several husbands get a little too competitive by flinging their wives across the floor to get more balls, while a couple of the wives cheat by picking up balls with their hands.
The imaginative game was part of a marriage retreat held by 3rd Strand Marriage Ministry in 2016 but the video has since re-emerged online.
Nothing beats the classic: The original version of the game with plastic hippos directed by levers is shown above
