Play dough cooking: the recipe game activity
Guild rank: apprentice — Partly checked
The quest
One child is the cook, one is the customer, and the dough is what the shop sells. There are no ingredients, only shapes — a long roll is a loaf, a flat circle is a cake, and the customer names what they want before it is made. That order, ask then make, is the whole game and it is worth running again with the roles swapped. Small rolling pins rather than the big ones so a flat circle is achievable at three.
