Leaning Tower of Pizza

Chef Tembii is in his pizzeria with a pizza on the table beside him. Answer a question right and three toppings appear, such as pepperoni, a donut, a sock or a rubber duck. The class picks one, it drops onto the pizza, and Tembii says the word. He reacts to every topping: yum for the tasty ones, yuck for a boot or a fish, and a puzzled huh for an alarm clock. The tower leans and wobbles a little more with each topping. After eight picks Tembii eats the whole tower, bite by bite, getting fatter as he goes, until a giant burp blows his apron off. A wrong answer costs nothing, so the youngest learners can play without worry.
