Tell them they’re all hard boiled except for 1 raw egg. Depending on how many eggs, teams and players you have, have teams send up either 1 or multiple players to play this game.A live guinea pig (harmless, but would have been shocking to have it move when the kids stuck their hands in!).A box of live crickets (from the pet store).Because they’d already watched the other things that we’d placed in the box, they thought they were touching a dead animal, and it seriously freaked them out! This was the funniest by far! They could barely keep their hands on it for a split second, before they were jumping back. Second, I made a quick “slime” by mixing water, flour, and green food colouring – that was super hard for the feelers to guess.First, I used rotting compost from my kitchen…that was disgusting!! The viewers loved it!.We played three rounds of this game, each time sending a different 3 “feelers” out of the room.I also made them use hand sanitizer after they washed! Then we revealed what they’d been touching and I had them go wash their hands.I gave points according to who got closest (for example, 1 full point if they got it right, 1/2 point if they got close) – I’m pretty lenient on points □.Once all three have felt the insides of the box, ask each of them what they think it is.They should think to themselves what it is, but don’t say what they think it is until all three players have had a chance to feel. Tell them they have to stick their hands through the hole and feel whatever is inside. Call the three players back into the room.Place something disgusting inside the box so that the rest of the youth can see what it is. Send one person from each team out of the room.Tape a plastic bag over the “hand-hole”, and make a horizontal and vertical slit in the plastic so that you can stick your hand through, but can’t see what’s inside the box.On the opposite side of the box, cut a hole into the cardboard, big enough for a hand to fit through.Cut one side of a box out, so that all your youth can see what’s in the box.We had 12 youth in attendance, so we split them up into 3 teams of 4 people each, and I kept points throughout all the games to see who the winning team was. We ended up playing 4 games with them in the beginning. I’ve also prepared a free PDF download of this lesson, so you can print it off! Just click here to download:
