Baby Food Taste Tester Game Instructions

Materials Needed

Choose a variety of baby food flavors. Pick some that are easy to recognize and some that might be tricky.
Label each baby food jar with a letter, such as A, B, C, and so on. Do not use the actual flavor name on the label.
For each player, prepare one small cup for each letter. For example, if you have six players and five flavors, make thirty cups total.
Put a small spoonful of baby food into each cup, matching the letter on the jar. Add a small tasting spoon in each cup.
Set the cups aside until it is time to play. Keep the jars hidden from the players.

Give each player one cup for each flavor, labeled A through whatever your last flavor is.
Give each player several slips of paper and a pen or pencil. They will write their guesses on these.
Have everyone taste the baby food labeled “A.”
After tasting, each player writes down what flavor they think it is.
When everyone is done, reveal the correct flavor by showing the jar. Players who guessed correctly earn one point.
Repeat the steps for all remaining flavors.
Count the points at the end. The player with the most correct guesses wins.

For more challenge, blindfold the players. Have a helper feed them each sample and write down their answers.
For another option to make it harder, add a few drops of food coloring to change the baby food color.
Remind players to use clean spoons each time and not to share food.
Check for any allergies before playing. Use only store-bought baby food that is safe and unopened.
