Cool Ice Cream Cone

• Play a game with some friends by making your own ice cream. This game is a version of "Hot Potato." Use a real ice cream cone and fill it with candy.

Use a variety of ice creams and let everyone decorate her own ice cream cone.

Ice Cream Cooking Taster

• In advance, place a selection of ice creams in molds or bowls. Sit in a circle and blindfold everyone. Give each child a plastic spoon and let everyone taste the ice cream and guess its flavor. After you have passed one dish around, ask everyone to write the flavor on a piece of paper. Continue with the other molds, one at a time. The child with the most correct answers is the winner. Use toppings like small pieces of fruit to make it more delicious and more difficult to guess the flavor of the ice cream.
