Guess the Utensil

Things you’ll need:

Pieces of paper
Pen or pencil
A large bowl

Before the guests arrive:

Step 1:  Write the names of lots of different cooking utensils on the pieces of paper.  Some suggestions:

Whisk
Spatula
Potato masher
Wooden spoon
Cheese grater
Measuring spoons
Egg slicer

Step 2:  Put all the papers into the large bowl.

When the guests arrive:

Step 1:  Have each child pick a piece of paper.  If the child doesn’t recognize the utensil they’ve picked, take them into the kitchen and show it to them, and explain what it’s used for.

Step 2:  The child has 30 seconds to give the other children clues that will help them guess the utensil.  They can use words, motions or drawings to help them.

Step 3:  The first guest to guess correctly is next to describe a utensil.   If no one guesses correctly, put the utensil out for the children to see and touch.
