Quick Overview:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blindfolded students compete to try and identify extra (and usually gross) ingredients in their bowl of milk and cereal. Whichever team can identify the most mystery ingredients wins![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Supplies” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Supplies You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Blindfolds.<\/strong>\u00a0We made ours out of snowboarding goggles. I bought some cheap at Walmart and then spray painted the inside black. We live in Buffalo, NY so I\u2019m assuming snowboarding goggles might not be at everyone\u2019s Walmart so just buy them online.<\/p>\n

\"wheel\"<\/a>2. Spin That Wheel on SimplyYouthMinistry.com.<\/strong>\u00a0I found this \u201cprize wheel\u201d software a few years ago and have been using it ever since. It\u2019s $25 and you can download it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Cereal and Extra Ingredients.<\/strong>\u00a0This game works best with a variety of cereal and a variety of gross extras. We bought the variety packs of mini cereal boxes and then just walked around looking for sauces, condiments, and anything else that sounded weird on cereal.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Prep” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Prep:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everything goes smoother when you pour the bowls of cereal out ahead of time as well as opening all the sauces and condiments beforehand so you don\u2019t waste time trying to break the plastic seals in front of everyone. So have everything up front and ready to go. Also, you\u2019re going to need to load all of the extras on the wheel of the \u201cSpin That Wheel\u201d software.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Gameplay” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Game Play:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We played this game girls vs guys. 2 girls and 2 guys came up at a time and we blindfolded them. Chef Andy (a volunteer of ours that plays a recurring chef character for us when we play games with food) put a bowl of the same cereal in front of each of the 4 players \u2013 they cannot see what it is but everyone in the crowd does. We then spin the wheel for each student to see what extra ingredient is added to the cereal. Students then get to taste what\u2019s in their bowl and try to identify both the cereal and the extra ingredient. If they can name both, they receive 3 pts. If they can only name one or the other they receive 1 pt. We play as many rounds as we have time for bringing up new contestants every round and whichever gender has the most points wins![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/cereal4.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/chefandy.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_1528.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect With Us” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
