Got Games? Make Meetings Fun and Educational!

Introducing mini tear pads with games from Essential Educators! These 5″ × 7″ pads of 50 identical sheets are an easy and economical way to break the ice, entertain, and teach about essential oils.

Choose from 6 different games—3 of them require little or no knowledge of essential oils but impart a few fun facts; the other 3 both test and increase knowledge of the oils, their properties, and common uses.

Beginning Games

• “EO Word Search and Scramble” contains both a word search and a word scramble game. Each one is played solo. A few fun facts about some common oils are included.
• “Sample Vial Solitaire” is also a game for individuals, and the backside offers a few interesting aromatherapy tidbits.
• “Capture the Oils” requires a partner for a strategic spatial game using 1/4 dram or 5/8 dram sample vials as playing pieces (not included). The backside teaches some of the history, extraction methods, and uses of 6 common essential oils.

Know-How Enhancers

• “Name That Aroma” asks individuals to name 6 common essential oils based on brief descriptions about their properties and uses. The backside, “Conditions Contact,” is basically a name-that-condition game for 3 or more people.
• “What Oil Am I?” is an essential oil version of “20 Questions” for 2 players to alternate in deducing the name of a chosen oil. Some facts on the backside help the game move along.
• “Name That Oil!” is also played in pairs, with each person trying to name more oils and blends than the other. Some up-close plant images create a visual guessing game on the backside.
