Directions for The Eating Game

When everyone comes to Eating Game you will have all the people sit down around the table. When everyone is seated around the table and quiet you can start telling them what they will be doing in The Eating Game. At the eating game you will tell people that they might have to take turns because there will probably not be enough of all the supplies for everyone to do it all at the same time. The first thing that will happen is that we will pair you up with partners. After that we will hand out splints and bandannas. Your partner has a job during the game and that is to help you tie your bandanna over your eyes so that it will not fall down. You will second put a splint on each hand and then you will put a bandanna over your eye. Then after that you will have a plate with vegetables on and you will have five minutes to cut things up and eat them. After you have done it for five minutes you will take your things off and give them to your partner and help them put the bandanna over their eyes after your partner has the splints already on. Your partner will do the same thing for five minutes.

Time: after 10 minutes start a 5 minute discussion.
