Northamptonshire Boys’ Brigade

Almost every kid loves chocolate, so why not host your very own

chocolate themed night at Boys’ Brigade?

Chocolate Creations Give your young people the chance to invent a new type of

chocolate bar.

Materials Provided:

None

Additional Materials Needed:

Chocolate

Cup cake cases

Sweets

Details:

Age - Anchors / Juniors

Cost - Low / Medium

Time - 15 Mins

Difficulty - 2/5

How?

This activity will allow

your young people to

come up with their

dream chocolate bar.

First you will need to

melt down some

chocolate so it becomes

liquid. Your young

people can either do this

as part of the activity, or this can be done by a leader

beforehand.

Once the chocolate has been melted, this can then be used by

your young people to create their own inventions of chocolate.

To do this place some of the melted chocolate into a cup cake

case along with some sweets / treats of their choice. Some

suggested treats include:

Let your young people try

out whatever creations

they want to. If you have

enough time & resources

then allow them to make

two or three each.

The chocolate should set

after about 30—40

minutes. To speed this up,

pop the chocolate

creations into the fridge if you have space.


Smarties

Jelly Beans

Rice Krispies

Dolly Mixture

Strawberry Laces

Marshmallows

Hundreds & Thousands

Popping Candy

Create A Chocolate Wrapper Having now made your own new chocolate invention, how about

having a go at making the wrapper for your new chocolate creation?

Materials Provided:

Blank Wrapper Template


Colouring Pens

Details:


Cost - None

Time - 10 - 15 Mins

Difficulty - 1/5

How?

Like all good

chocolate bars,

not only does it

have to taste

good, it also has

to look good on

the shelf.

Now your young

people have

created their very own chocolate bar, they can now design the

wrapper and give it a brand name.

To do this, give each young person the template included in this

pack. They can then sit down and create their perfect chocolate

wrapper.

Get them to think about the following:

What is their chocolate bar going to be called?

What will the price be?

Does it have a slogan? (such as ‘have a break, have a kit

kat’ or skittle’s ‘Taste the rainbow’)

What colours will the wrapper be?

Maybe you could have a competition for the best looking

chocolate wrapper?

Chocolate Tasting With so many chocolate bars around, it’s hard to know which is the

best chocolate on the market. Let your young people put some bars to

the test as they decide which bar is the best.

Materials Provided:

Chocolate Tasting Score

Card Template


5 Milk Chocolate Bars

Bowls

Pens

Details:

Age - Juniors

Cost - Low

Time - 10 - 15 Mins

Difficulty - 2/5

How?

Let your young

people become

chocolate reviewers

for the evening as

they have to decide

which is the best

chocolate on the

market.

For this activity you will need a selection of 5 chocolate bars. As a

suggestion, you could get

Cadbury Dairy Milk

Galaxy

Green & Blacks

Own brand milk chocolate

Own brand basics milk chocolate

Take the bars out of the wrappers and place them in separate

bowls. The first challenge (taste) should be with their eyes closed,

so they cannot see which chocolate they are eating. Using the

attached table, get them to rank each bar from best (1) to worst

(5).

After this, your young people can then rank the chocolate based

on, serving size, look, price etc. You can use the table in this

pack, or make up your own.

At the end of the activity, your young people should have found

out which is the best chocolate, based on their reviews.

Chocolate Wrapper Hunt A simple game which gets your young people hunting around your

halls to find all of the wrappers before the other team.

Materials Provided:

Chocolate Bar template

Complete set template


None

Details:


Cost - None

Time - 10 minutes

Difficulty - 1/5

How?

Before your evening, you will

need to print off the chocolate

bar templates found in this

pack and cut them up so they

can be hidden in your meeting

place. 4 sets of laminated

chocolate bars are available to

borrow, to save time printing.

Contact joe.harrison@boys-

brigade.org.uk to arrange

using these.

Before your young people

arrive (or during an activity

when they are distracted) hide the pictures around your hall(s).

Use a whole set of pictures for each team which will be playing

the game.

To start the game, give each team a copy of template one,

which shows all the chocolate bars they will need to collect.

Explain that the winning team will be the first team to have

collected one of every chocolate bar on their sheet of paper.

You can either send all the young people out at once to hunt

down the chocolate bars, or set a rule which means only one

team member can be hunting at once. This will depend on how

many people are playing and how big your halls are.

The winners are the first team with a complete set of chocolate

bars.

Things to Consider:

How well you hide the objects will determine the length

of the game. You may wish to make it easy if playing with

Anchors but harder for Juniors.

Feel like treating your young people? You could

use real chocolate bars.

Chocolate Four Corners This very simple game is easy to play and is a great way of getting your

young people running around

Materials Provided:

None


Signs for the four corners

Details:


Cost - None

Time - 10 minutes

Difficulty - 1/5

How?

Before you start the game you will need to make some signs for

your four corners (you could play the game without signs, but

this can be confusing for some young people). The four corners

should have chocolate themed names—maybe names of four

chocolate bars or brands.

To play the game, place the names in the corners of the room

and get your young people to run around the room. After a

short while shout ‘corners’. At this point your young people

need to run to a corner of their choice.

Once they have settled, the leader should call out one of the

corner names. Anyone stood in this corner is out of the game.

Carry on playing the game, until there is only one young person

left who is the winner. When less young people are in the

game, you may want to close a corner or two, to help get the

last few young people out quicker.


The Chocolate Game An easy game to play, which is guaranteed to be a hit with your young

people. Great for both small & large group sizes.

Materials Provided:

None


Large chocolate bar

Knife / Fork

Hat, gloves, scarf

Dice

Table

Details:


Cost - None

Time - 10 minutes

Difficulty - 1/5

How?

For this game, you will

need a table and chair in

the middle of the room,

with your young people sat

in a large circle around it.

Leave a couple of meters

between the circle of

young people and the

table in the middle.

When you start the game, have one dice go around the circle for each

young person to roll. If a young person rolls a 6 then they can go to

the table, put on a hat, gloves and scarf and then start eating the

chocolate on the table.

They are not allowed to use their hands however. The person at the

table must use a knife and fork to open the wrapper, cut up the

chocolate and place it in their mouth (it’s meant to be difficult)

Whilst this is happening, the dice should continue to go around the

circle. If another person rolls a 6, then they can come up to the table

and swap places with the person who is trying to eat the chocolate.

Before they can start eating

chocolate, the new person at

the table must have the hat,

scarf and gloves on. The

person at the table can carry

on eating chocolate (using

the knife and fork) until

someone else gets a 6.

Keep playing the game until all the chocolate is gone. You may wish to

change the rules slightly to speed up the game or to make it

easier - depending on your age groups.


Box of Chocolates - Game This game is largely based on the popular ‘Port & Starbord’ Game. This

chocolate based version is a great way of combining a familiar game

with your chocolate theme.

Materials Provided:

None


None

Details:


Cost - Low

Time - 10 mins

Difficulty - 2/5

How?

For this game, a leader will shout out the names of chocolates

and your young people will need to respond by doing the

action associated with that chocolate. The actions are:

Mars - All players run to the right hand side of the room

Galaxy - All players run to the left hand side of the room

Milkyway - All players run to the top of the room

Magic Stars - All players run to the bottom of the room

Penguin - Waddle around the room like a penguin

Lion - Hands up as claws, roaring like a lion

Aero - Run around the room flying like an aeroplane

Kitkat - Walk on all fours, meowing like a cat

Wispa - Index finger on lips and say shhhhhhh

Twirl - Spin around on the spot once

Double Decker - Run around as if driving a double-decker bus.

The last person to carry out an action is out. The winner is the

last person standing.

To help your young people remember the first four chocolates

(sides of the room) it may be worth putting signs up.
