DLTK's Holidays for Kids
Halloween Goo Game
Thanks to one of our viewers for sharing this with us!
You will need:
- a bag of tapioca you will find in the dried food department of the supermarket.
- Water
- food colouring
- plastic spiders or other charms
Preparation:
- Take the bag of tapioca and put half in a bowl with some water and soak it for 1 hour.
- drain the water and add more water (not milk as it will say on the packet)
- Put in the microwave for a few minutes and the stir. repeat this until it starts to go clear
- When it is clear add the food colouring and mix well. ( it will be very sticky)
- leave to cool
- add your spiders or charms.
Note:
The longer you cook the tapioca the more sticky it gets so you can cook it in to a slime that you can roll and mould into shapes.
The game:
Blindfold the child and let them put their hand in the very sticky, lumpy cold slime. They have 30 seconds to grab a charm to win a prize.
Suggestion from another viewer:
"We play the Goo game but I use custard instead. Its easy to get hold of and cheap
in packet mix."
Suggestion from viewer:
"I have another variation of the goo-game. Boil some spaghetti noodles and then place objects such as fake worms,
spiders etc in a large mixing bowl, then blindfolded, set a time amount for the child to try and find as many items as possible!!
This does get a little sticky after awhile, but it is fun!!"
