Drink Guessing Game
Here's a fun game for you that you can easily recreate at home. It's called the Drink Guessing Game. The goal is to guess which drink is in a glass using only your sense of taste! You'll be surprised at how different drinks can taste when you don't pay attention to their appearance. This game helps you taste more mindfully and learn to express your impressions in words. It also boosts concentration and is especially fun in a group! So grab a shoebox, fill the glasses, and let the guessing begin!
What you'll need
- A shoebox
- Various drinks
- Glasses
- Straws
- A pair of scissors
- Paper and pens
How it works
-
First, you need to prepare the shoebox. Cut small holes in the lid of the box with scissors, as many as you have glasses. The holes should be big enough for a straw to fit through, but not too big so that no one can peek inside.
-
Fill the glasses with the different drinks. Try to choose drinks that taste distinctly different from each other. For example, you can use apple juice, orange juice, water, or milk.
-
Carefully place the filled glasses in the shoebox and insert a straw through each hole in the lid, so that each straw is in a glass. Make sure the glasses are stable and won't tip over.
-
Now it’s time to start! Each player takes turns sipping through the straws and trying to guess the drink. You can write down the results so you can see later who guessed the most drinks correctly.
-
After all players have tasted each drink and made their guesses, check who was right. Count the points. You get one point for each correctly guessed drink. The player with the most points is the Drink King or Queen. Have fun!
