"Don't Eat Pete!"

This game is perfect for really young kids--they will love it! 
We used to play it for Family Home Evening all the time when I was younger and it was a big hit. 

What You Will Need:-"Don't Eat Pete" game board
-a bag of M&Ms or other snack food (we always used chocolate chips)

How to Play:
Put a piece of candy (such as an M&M) on each of the squares on the game card. Choose one person from your group to leave the room. Have the remaining players choose which one of the squares on the game board will be "Pete" for the round. Have the first player come back and begin picking and eating M&Ms from the game board. As soon as the player tries to pick "Pete" everyone yells "Don't Eat Pete!" and their turn is over. Refill the game board and play again with the next player.

Notes:
-You can use cereal, other small snack foods, or any type of small candy for this game.
-To add a little bit more to the game, you can refer to the person who leaves and then eats the candy as the "M&M Monster"
-To get a "Don't Eat Pete" board you can Google it and find several options and places where you can download one OR even better is make your own family "Don't Eat Pete" board--feel free to get creative! The board can be 3x3, 3x4, 4x4, or as big as you want.
