Attention! Our tongues will be best judges today. They’ll taste our first sweet task! Challenge of a tongue twister. Here are some very tasty of them. We are all ears!
(The teams are offered a funny sweet poem as a tongue twister . After some training each team presents them in chorus. Each member says it three times one by one, one after another, by heart. The task is measured by seconds and minutes: how much time will it take them to say it? )
Tongue Twister:
Sweets are fun, Sweets are yum!
But too much sugar is bad for your tum!"
Now a duel ! There is a nice sweet tooth saying
If your sweet tooth says candy - your wisdom tooth says… Cerreta. By the way, it is a Slogan of the Cerreta Candy Company in Glendale, Arizona (cerreta.com) Your task is to throw away the word Cerreta and instead of it you may use the very wise one instead. For example , If your sweet tooth says candy - your wisdom tooth says…English! (Mother, nature, Peace etc)

How to Play "Who took the cookie from the cookie jar"
Someone from outside the circle hides a cookie (or a small toy) in one of the players’ hands. The group tries to find out who has the cookie singing:
Group: Who took the cookie from the cookie jar? (name of a child) took the cookie from the cookie jar.
Child: Who me?
Group: Yes, you!
Child: Not me!
Group: Then who?
Child: (name of another child)
Group: (child) took the cookie from the cookie jar.
In fact the game goes on until the group finds out who has the cookie.
