Barista Battle Fall Edition

Quickie: 

A Fall coffee drink-making competition!

Pro Tips:

  • Make it harder, messier, and funnier by adding blindfolds!

  • Have a youth leader be the judge to award a prize to the best barista

  • Come up with unique ingredient ideas to take this game to the next level

  • Don’t feel the need to use all the supplies listed, you may keep the game low-prep and cost-effective by using what you have at home!

  • Lay down a tarp/towel if you go the blindfold route

How to Play:

Select a few (or more) participants to come up front. Let them know they’ll be tasked with creating the best Fall cold brew coffee drink the world has ever seen. The best drink wins. Set a timer for 3 minutes and tell them to get to work! Give each student a cup and let them start pouring, mixing, and adding ingredients to their drink. After the time is up, have a judge decide who made the best drink!

Take photos of the teens with their aprons and drinks after!
