Items Needed:

• (Optional) Stopwatch or timer

Before the Meeting Starts:

1. Prepare cookie fact and answer cards. (5–7 min)
   • Write cookie names on separate cards.
   • Write cookie facts (flavors or costs) on separate cards.
   • Make sure there are equal numbers of name cards and fact cards, even if you have to repeat a name card.
   • Choose whether to hide the names or hide the facts.
2. Place the cards around the room. (3–4 min)
   • Tape them to walls or spread them out in visible spots.

Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 10–25 min):

1. Divide youth into teams. (3–4 min)
   • Each team lines up at a starting point.
2. Begin the cookie race. (1–2 min)
   • One youth from each team draws a card (either name or fact, depending on which set was hidden around the room).
   • They race to find the matching card in the room.
   • When they find it, they return to their team and place the match together.
   • The next youth in line takes a turn with a new card.
3. Continue until all cards are matched. (5–6 min)
   • Teams check their matches for accuracy.
   • The team with the most correct matches or the fastest finish wins.
