Q&A for How to Bob for Apples

You could use marshmallows while playing the variation of the game in which the apple (or marshmallow) is hanging from a string. It's not recommended to use marshmallows in place of apples in the classic game, as they will absorb water.

No. You can only use your head.

You could try, but the water would make the chips wet and soggy, which would be gross.

No, she would not be able to grab the apples.

Yes, you have to put your hands behind your back. You can only use your mouth.

Try to push the apple to the side of the box or the bottom so you can bite into it. You can practice at home first.

Bobbing for apples doesn't require you to be blindfolded, but does require that you don't use your hands or arms to grab or direct the floating apple, and only use your mouth to catch the apple.

No, you can only use your teeth to get the apples!

That could work, but I imagine that you'd get a mouthful of water, so I don't recommend it.

No sick children should not bob for apples as it could be unsafe and put the players of the game, or themselves, in danger. If the sickness is infectious, they may spread the illness to others.
