Games for Kids Who Like Baking Food

Many children enjoy helping in the kitchen, and some children enjoy it so much that their main hobbies include cooking and baking. Keeping these kids busy outside of the kitchen can be a challenge since their interests are very specific, but it is not impossible. Try playing kitchen-and cooking-based games with your culinary kids, and keep them entertained in and out of the kitchen.

Chocolate Chip Counting Game
- Make this game with just a few pieces of construction paper. Cut out some large cookie shapes from brown construction paper. Use darker brown construction paper to cut out several dozen small chocolate chip shapes. Give each player 30 chocolate chips. Use one or two die, with children taking turns rolling. Have each child count the number on the die and place that number of chocolate chips on her cookie. The winner is the player who uses all of her chocolate chips first. This game is appropriate for very young chefs ages 2 to 4.
Pizza Memory
- Using construction paper, create a large yellow pizza crust, a red sauce circle, a white cheese circle and several different colored topping pieces. Use colored pencils to create several different pizza combinations on index cards. Allow your child to study the pizza combination for one full minute before flipping the index card over and asking him to recreate the combination on his own pizza. You can also play this game with several players as a race. Whoever completes the pizza combination correctly first wins.
Board Game
- Cooking Up Sentences! by Learning Resources is a food- and cooking-themed grammar learning game where children draw ingredient cards for different parts of speech. Then the children put all the ingredients together for their recipe, a grammatically correct sentence. The game is recommended for children ages 7 and older.
Bingo
- Create your own cooking- and food-themed bingo cards. Use pictures of familiar and unfamiliar foods, as well as kitchen utensils. Call out the names of these foods and utensils and see if the kids can pick out the correct picture. Play several different versions of the game, including horizontal, vertical, diagonal and full card winner. Use a bingo marker or plastic chips to cover the spaces. You can laminate the bingo cards for durability.
