Food, drinks, and snacks can be outrageously fun when you add a Cranium twist. Get fun, easy ideas with these six ways to eat, drink, and be merry -- from a juicy jumble to a giant cookie face!
Have everyone pick a favorite fruit at the grocery store. Cut fruit into small, bite-sized pieces and toss together. Separately, mix eight parts plain low-fat yogurt with two parts orange juice and one part honey (exact measurements will vary based on fruit amount).
Stir in portions of the mix with the fruit until coated (as thick or thin as you'd like). Ta-da! You have a great snack that's easy to make and deliciously healthy. For fun, try to guess the fruit that each person added!
Get a ready-made pizza crust, pizza sauce, and shredded cheese. Have everyone choose the toppings and work together to create a cool design with those toppings, like a picture of your house or a portrait of a family member or pet. Bake and voilà! You'll have a one-of-kind pizza. (Mini pizza faces are lots of fun, too!)
Gather and prepare the salad ingredients you want to use. Write down the ingredients and scramble the letters of each word. To mix the salad, challenge everyone to decipher the ingredient words and add them as they go. Who knew throwing together a salad could be so much fun?
Ideas:
Lettuce = tucelte
Tomatoes = otametos
Carrots = crostra
Cheese = eceshe
Scoop a can of refried beans into a microwave-safe dish, heat, and spread on a plate. Prepare several ingredient toppers (like onions, olives, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, or salsa). Write ingredients on pieces of paper, then fold the papers, mix them up, and pass them out to everyone.
Take turns drawing or acting out each ingredient. Add an ingredient to the dish when someone guesses it right! Serve with tortilla chips.
Place a small bowl inside a larger bowl on the floor. Have everyone take turns tossing in pennies or bottle caps from behind a masking-tape line on the floor (one foot away for kids; two for adults). Each person tosses three times, earning three points for the small bowl; one for the large.
The top scorer gets to choose the evening's smoothie ingredients. Mix with ice and frozen vanilla yogurt, and . you shoot, you score . a tasty refreshment for a night of fun!
Everyone will have a blast baking and decorating a giant cookie. All you need are a few cookie-decorating supplies: frosting, chocolate chips, small candies, skinny licorice whips, and maybe even wax lips. Once the cookie cools, work together to create a Giant Cookie Face!
We also encourage you to share your own ideas for fun meals, drinks, and snacks. We'd love to share them with the Craniac community!
