WORKSHOPS | Xplor Games

Looking for an engaging and educational workshop that will capture the attention of your students, young children, or seniors? You've come to the right place! With "Xplor Games" as a tool, children can explore and learn through play, expanding their understanding of the world around them. Each game table can accommodate up to 6 participants, which means that we can offer workshops for as many as 30 children by using 5 tables. With a variety of themes to choose from, including Nutrition, the 5 senses, World and Polar Animals, Chocolate, Pirates parties, and Cultural Quizzes, there's something for everyone. They are available in Norwegian, French, English, or Spanish.

Our workshop is designed for children aged 5 and up. Put your taste buds to the ultimate test with our innovative methodology! We’re here to help you explore a world of flavor and experience the 5 senses like never before. Our unique approach has been developed over 6 years so that we can share the best ways to develop an understanding of food flavors while learning about the origins of the ingredients. Join us in exploring a whole world of flavors and nutritional facts with our Xplor Nutrition workshop!

Step 1: Choosing an Explorer's Card and Boat

Each participant picks an explorer's card along with its matching color boat, the fruit they'll encounter at their destination, and the card of the same fruit. This selection provides an opportunity to learn about the fruit's history and discover the best flavor combinations.

Step 2: Select cards that you are going to encounter during your voyage

Our Xplor fruit pack boasts 48 cards, divided into three categories and colors representing fruits native to the Americas, Africa, and Asia. By choosing their explorer, participants decide which fruit they'll encounter at their final destination. Dive into our new nutrition expansion packs with card designs enriched with fun facts, nutritional information, tips on flavor combinations, and charts of seasonal fruits and vegetables!

Step 3: Uncover the Fruits of the New World

During gameplay, participants will unveil the exotic fruit waiting at their destination. For instance, Columbus discovered pineapple, Cortes found cacao, and Vespucci stumbled upon strawberries.

Be aware, avoid the pirates!
The objective is to be the first to reach Europe, but watch out for pirates as you could be forced to skip a turn.

During your adventure across the oceans, be careful not to encounter pirates while rolling the dice.

Step 4: Delve into the Fruit's Cards

Now is the time to read and learn about the history and origins of the discovered fruits.

Step 5: Tasting Session for all!

We wrap up the workshop with approximately 30 minutes of delightful tasting!

Step 6: Evaluation Using our Xplor "Taste" table

We use our taste table to assess each food discovered by the players and establish its flavor profile (salty, sweet, bitter, or sour). For instance, we might try Mexican-origin cacao discovered by Hernan Cortes, and the children often find it quite bitter!

Engaging the Five Senses through Deep Aromas…

I guide the participants on how to savor the fruits using the "wine technique" of closing their eyes, taking a deep sniff, and holding the fruit in their mouth for a longer period to fully comprehend the flavor.

... and enjoying the fruits and the chocolate!

Emphasizing the joy of tasting and appreciating the flavor nuances of the fruits and chocolate is the ultimate goal of this adventure.
