Step-by-Step Instructions
- Nominate one person for every five people in your group to be a ‘chef.’
- Identify half of the chefs as ‘good’ and the other half as ‘mad.’
- Distribute a pen to every chef and a paper plate to every other person.
- When ready, invite your chefs to distribute themselves evenly throughout the playing space.
- Instruct the rest of your group to visit as many of the good chefs as they can while avoiding being tagged by the mad chefs.
- Good chefs are instructed to write the name of one food on the plate of each person who visits them.
- Announce that up to three (or four) people may queue in front of a good chef and not be tagged.
- Every time someone is tagged by a mad chef, they will have one of their food items struck off their plate.
- Play two or more five-minute rounds.
- The person(s) who tallies the most number of foods on their plate at the end of play, wins.

I’m totally using this with my older kiddos (younger ones have trouble writing) for Thanksgiving, and having them write Thanksgiving foods down!
