DIY Pheromone Game Kit

This easy kit allows you to download the materials, print them, cut them out and laminate them to your liking. The kit is easy to use or modify. Place a cotton ball into a small test tube. Add a scent  onto the cotton ball. The aroma from the essential oils are tied to a rubric which instructs the youth to follow a command, like honey bees. This game can be played in the class room or outside in an open area. I like to use a variety of scents, and these scents are often the ones we use later when we make lip balm or soap.

• Forager – Go find water, pollen or nectar, youth take a bite of snack or drink of water
• Guard Bee – Guard bees guard the hive and sting on command from pheromones, youth will sting your beekeeping assistant or helper if they smell that corresponding smell.
