Each participant requires a soup pot. You could use actual cardboard bowls (Dixie) or you could cut large rounds from construction paper, laminate them, and use them as the collection “bowl”.
Each participant will require a set of vegetables, also laminated so they are more durable and easy to clean.
One deck of word cards is needed for the game. There are 13 different labels but the deck must contain five cards of each vegetable label and two each of the “special” cards so, the deck will have 56 cards.
Provided the soup bowl and set of vegetables to each player. Before beginning, ask the participants to name each of the vegetables before them.
On their turn, a player draws a card from the deck, reads the word, and acts accordingly. If it is a vegetable label, the player places that vegetable into their soup bowl. Take turns, the first player to get all the vegetables into the bowl is the winner.
For more advanced play there are three types of cards that will slow the play. If a player draws the “Spoiled Vegetable” card he or she must remove one vegetable from the pot and try to replace it as the game progresses. If a player draws “Pot Upset” card, all the vegetables in the pot must be removed. If the “Power Failure” is drawn that player loses that turn.
These cards can be removed or added to the deck depending upon the group of people you have playing.
