FOOD SUGGESTIONS:
Let the kids top their own pizzas. Have lots of yummy ingredients, but toss in a few gross-looking but yummy additions. Serve purple punch.

Dessert - Cake and icecream with dirt and worms. The dirt is crunched up oreo cookies, the worms - gummy worms! Gross out!

GAMES / ACTIVITIES
Welcome the children to the Gross-Out Contest. Award points for how quickly challenges are completed. The person with the best score wins an extra special prize.
 

The Transfer
Challenge kids to locate items in a bowl and transport them to another bowl. Let younger kids use their hands, but older kids have to use their mouths (if using mouths, provide a fresh bowl for each child). One item could be intestines: fill a large bowl with cereal and cover with water. Let soak over night. Before the contest begins, add enough water to cover the mixture and mix in gummi worms. Or, prepare a big bowl of eyeballs Plain or vanilla pudding with large gumballs.
 

The Food Challenge
Write different types of food on pieces of paper and put in a hat. Have the children choose a paper to discover their food challenge. Give each 2 minutes to eat their item. Some ideas are canned beets, Brussels sprouts, crushed pineapple, creamed corn and canned ham.

Make Goopy Goo Mix 1/2 cup of boiled water with 3 envelopes of unflavoured gelatine. Let it soften for a few minutes and stir with a fork. Add about 1/2 cup of corn syrup. Let the children add food colouring to personalize it. As the mixture sets, add more hot water to keep it soft.
