Sukiyaki Ingredient Hunt
Japanese name: すきやきじゃんけん
Materials
- Five types of sukiyaki ingredient cards, with at least as many of each type as there are teams
- An opaque bag
- One pot picture per team
How to play
- Give each team a pot picture. Identify the five ingredient types, such as meat, green onion, tofu, shirataki noodles and egg.
- One representative per team plays rock–paper–scissors against the facilitator. Only representatives who win draw one card from the bag and bring it to their team.
- Put cards on the pot picture. Keep duplicates too, and check which types are still missing.
- Rotate representatives and repeat. A team completes its pot with all five types. After 10 minutes or when the bag empties, teams exchange missing cards to work toward everyone finishing.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: three types and adult support for representatives. Younger primary school children: five types. Older primary school children: allow time to trade duplicates.
