An interesting game with the potential to be an educational resource. Requires some setting up in advance.
You will need:
- A number of opaque jars (glass jars with paper wrapped around them works)
- Squares of muslin or cotton (again thick enough to be opaque)
- Elastic bands or string to tie the muslin squares over the jar tops
- Different ‘smelly’ items.
Put a different smelly item into each jar and number the jar if wished. Players have to guess what the smell is.
