The Forbidden Topping Game

by Serving-Ice-Cream

The forbidden topping ice cream game is a game of suspense as people try to add as many toppings to their sundaes without choosing the "forbidden" topping and automatically ending their turn. Of course, this game ends with a delicious ice cream sundae for everyone!

What You'll Need

• About 7-10 different kinds of toppings placed in bowls with serving spoons


• 1 empty bowl for each person

How to Play

Have people sit in a circle with their empty bowl in hand.

Place the toppings in the center of the circle.

Choose one person to go out of the room to a place where he can't see or hear what is going on in the room.

While the person is gone, everyone else chooses which topping is "forbidden."

Call the person back into the room.

The person must dish toppings - one kind a time - into his empty bowl.

If he chooses the "forbidden" topping, he may place it in his bowl - but his turn ends.

Then another person goes out of the room and the game continues until everyone has had a turn.

End the game by giving everyone ice cream to go with the toppings they've put in their bowl!
