Taste Games for Kids

Introducing children to cooking at a young age will give you an opportunity to help develop their palates and teach them about healthy cooking. Learning about the flavors for different foods and how they mix will allow your children to expand their tastes in foods and try foods they may not have tried outside of the game.
  1. Soda Taste Test

    • Find out how well your children and their friends know their sodas. Give them the blindfolded taste test for sodas. Choose four or five different types of soda. Let the children taste them and then try to guess the type of soda. Include a few unusual ones such as birch beer and cream soda to test their taste buds. You can also choose several different types of the same soda such as colas, and see if the kids can guess the brands correctly.

    Lollipop Taste Test

    • Lollipops are made in a variety of different flavors. Create a team game for your children to compete in when identifying the flavors. Split the children up into two teams. Invite one player from each team up to the front of the line and blindfold her. Give each player a lollipop. The first one to guess the flavor correctly gets a point for her team. You can give each child one guess, with an incorrect guess deducting a point, or you can let them alternate guesses until one team gets the point, without penalizing for incorrect guesses.

    Spices

    • It's never too early for children to learn the large variety of flavors spices can add to food. This will give children a chance to choose different spices to add to their food instead of the staples of salt and pepper. Place 10 spices in bowls. Give each child an answer sheet, numbered from one to 10. Ask the children to taste each spice and write down what they think it is. To make it easier, you can list the 10 spices on the answer sheet so the children know what spices are on the table. The child that gets the most correct is the winner.

    Candy Bar Taste Game

    • Certain holidays such as Valentine's Day, Easter and Halloween are commonly associated with candy. If you are having a party for one of these holidays, add a game where children taste and guess candy bars. Give each child a small piece of a variety of different candy bars. After tasting the bar, have the child write down her guess as to what type of candy bar it is. To add difficulty to the challenge, blindfolding the children is optional. Give the child that gets the most answers correct a bag with a full sized candy bar of each one used in the game.
