First fill the bowl with flour then put the plate over it and then flip it over making sure the plate is on the bottom. Put it on the table and take the bowl away. Put a marshmallow on top carefully. Now get the kids to take in turns cutting the cake made of flour into slices. If it collapses when the child cuts it then they have to stick there face in and try and get it out. You can play this game as many times as you want but make sure that you replace the marsh mellows. It is safe to keep using the same flour over and over again. Make sure that you cover the table to protect it from all the flour.
