Game #3: Marshmallow Mouth

 Make a list of different sentences before Shabbat. (It could be movie titles, or  lines like “Bnei Akiva is really cool”, or “I really like chulent” or the first line of Yad Achim, or “Am Israel, B’Eretz Israel Al Pi Torat Israel”…)

Then divide the chanichim up into 2 teams. The game runs a little like charades. One kid is picked from each team, and he has to fill his mouth with Marshmallow Fluff and then read the sentence to his team and whichever team understands their person first and guesses correctly wins.
