National Cookie Day is the perfect excuse to indulge in sweet treats and fun-filled activities. It’s a day that calls for creativity, togetherness, and, of course, cookies! If you’re looking for a way to make your celebration extra special this year, we’ve got you covered with some fresh, entertaining, and absolutely hilarious game ideas. These activities aren’t just for kids they’re perfect for adults, families, and even that friends' game night you’ve been planning.
Want to turn the fun factor up a notch? Consider adding the Pick Me Up Game to your lineup of National Cookie Day festivities. It’s a party game packed with humor, playful banter, and unforgettable pickup lines. More on that later, but for now, let's dive into some creative cookie-themed games that will leave everyone grinning from ear to ear.
Cookie Charades (With a Twist)
Forget regular charades. On National Cookie Day, it’s all about acting out cookie-related words. Write down cookie-themed prompts like “chocolate chip,” “cookie jar,” or “Santa sneaking cookies” and toss them in a bowl.
How to Play: One player picks a prompt and acts it out without speaking. The others have to guess the cookie-inspired action, phrase, or item. Bonus Round: Use Pick Me Up Game pickup lines as prompts. Imagine someone trying to act out, "Are you a cookie? Because I’m about to crumble for you." Now THAT'S entertainment.
What You Need: Paper slips with cookie-themed actions or phrases. A timer to keep the game moving.
The Great Cookie Count Challenge
This one is all about observation and patience with a sprinkle of competition.
How to Play: Bake or buy a batch of cookies (chocolate chip works best). Each player selects a cookie and has 60 seconds to count how many chocolate chips are on it. The person who guesses closest to the actual number wins. Want to make it extra tricky? Use cookies with mini chocolate chips and see everyone squinting like detectives.
Pro Tip: If you want to up the ante, turn this into a memory challenge. Show the cookie for 10 seconds, then hide it. See who remembers the number of chocolate chips.
Cookie Decorating Competition
It’s classic but never goes out of style. Get ready for edible masterpieces and “creative” designs.
How to Play: Each player gets one or two plain sugar cookies as their blank canvas. Offer frosting, sprinkles, candy, and edible markers for decoration. Set a timer for 10 minutes for everyone to create their best cookie design. For added drama, have one person act as the “judge” and score designs in categories like "Most Creative," "Most Delicious Looking," and "Best Use of Sprinkles.”
Want to spice it up? Add a mini Pick Me Up Game twist. Players have to name their cookie masterpiece using a pickup line from the game. Imagine naming a cookie “Are you made of sugar? Because you just made my day sweeter.”
What You Need: Plain cookies (bake them ahead of time or buy pre-made) Icing, sprinkles, candy, and any edible decoration you can find Small scorecards for judging
Cookie Jar Mystery Game
This one is all about deduction. If you’ve ever played “Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?” in childhood, you’ll love this modern spin.
How to Play: One person is randomly selected as the "cookie thief" at the start of the game. Each round, one player asks another player, “Did you steal the cookie from the cookie jar?” The person questioned must quickly say, “No, it wasn’t me!” and name another player. The goal is to figure out who the cookie thief is.
Make it even more fun by adding playful pickup lines from the Pick Me Up Game as part of the questioning. For instance, instead of "Did you steal the cookie?" say, "Are you the one who stole my heart and my cookie?"
What You Need: A group of people (minimum of 4) Imagination, quick wit, and a bit of sneakiness
Cookie Taste Test Showdown
Do you have a cookie connoisseur in your group? Put their taste buds to the test with this fun challenge.
How to Play: Gather a selection of cookies with distinct flavors (chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, peanut butter, etc.). Blindfold each player and have them taste a small piece of each cookie. They must guess the flavor of each one. The person with the most correct guesses wins the title of “Cookie Champ.”
Pro Tip: Sneak in a wild card cookie like a wasabi-flavored cookie or a spicy ginger snap to throw everyone off. Watch their faces when the unexpected flavor hits!
What You Need: A variety of cookies with unique flavors Blindfolds Scorecards to track player guesses
The Cookie Trivia Game
How much do you really know about cookies? This trivia game will put everyone's cookie knowledge to the test.
How to Play: Prepare a list of cookie-related trivia questions. Example questions:
- "Which country is credited with inventing chocolate chip cookies?"
- "What year was Oreo first released?"
- "How many cookies does the average person eat in a year?" Players write down their answers, and the person with the most correct answers wins.
Want to make it more fun? Insert some wild Pick Me Up Game pickup lines as "trick questions." Example: “Which of the following is NOT a famous cookie: A) Snickerdoodle, B) Chocolate Chip, or C) 'Are you a cookie? Because I want a piece of you.'”
What You Need: A list of trivia questions Paper and pens for player answers Prizes for the winner (cookies, of course)
Cookie Stack Challenge
Stack 'em up! This simple but intense game brings out everyone’s inner engineer.
How to Play: Each player gets 1 minute to stack as many cookies as possible in a single tower. If the stack falls before time is up, they have to start over. The player with the tallest cookie stack at the end wins.
Pro Tip: Use Oreo-style sandwich cookies for maximum difficulty. If you want absolute chaos, introduce the rule that players must pick a pickup line from Pick Me Up Game before starting their stack. For instance, "Are you stacked like my tower of cookies? Because I can't stop staring."
What You Need: Cookies (thick cookies work best) Timer A steady hand and a solid poker face
Cookie Matching Memory Game
This game is simple and perfect for kids and adults alike.
How to Play: Cut out cookie-shaped cards and draw matching pairs of cookie designs on them (like sugar cookie, chocolate chip, peanut butter, etc.). Mix up the cards and place them face down. Players take turns flipping two cards at a time, trying to find matching pairs.
This is a great game for families but also works well for friends' nights in. To add some spice, have players perform a line from Pick Me Up Game every time they fail to find a match. Imagine hearing, "Are you a chocolate chip cookie? Because I’ve been searching for you everywhere." It’s comedy gold.
