Pick a card
The youngest player starts. Turn over a square card.
Is the item on your board?
If the item on your card is shown on your chef board, place the card over the matching item. Play passes to the next player.
If the item is not shown on your chef board, return the card face down to the table. Play passes to the next player.
Once you’ve filled your board
When you have filled your board, spin the spinner on your next turn.
If the spinner points to a plate, take an empty plate card and place it on your board in the chef’s hands. Play passes to the next player.
If the spinner does not point to a plate, play passes to the next player.
Now it’s time to cook your meal!
Once you have collected a plate, you must ‘cook’ your meal.
On your next turn, spin the spinner.
If the spinner points to a child sitting at the table, your dish is cooked! Take the meal card that matches your board and place it on your plate to win the game.
If the spinner does not point to a child at the table, play passes to the next player.
The winner!
The winner is the first player to collect all the ingredients and utensils on their board, pick up a plate, and ‘cook’ their meal.
N.B. Players may continue to play after the first player has finished, to see who comes second and third, etc.
