If you've never played this game, you should try it--it's one of our favorites. Tonight we played it during our Family Night and it was so funny because we started and it only took a couple times and all of the sudden Megan yells "OKAY MY TURN" and runs out of the room:) It didn't take her long AT all to catch on! This is how you play--- Even the smallest of kids can pick up on this and amazingly--take turns;) Our friends introduced us to this years ago and I even got the copyright permission to make a little gameboard of m&m characters. So you place the candies down. One person leaves the room and the others pick a numbered m&m man to be "Pete". The person returns to the room and starts picking and eating the pieces trying not to find Pete (obviously, cause then you get to eat more:)) If they do grab "Pete" everyone yells "don't eat pete" and they have to stop. Now the nice thing is you can change it up. With really small kids you can have one person pick in their mind who Pete is. Then everyone gets a turn going clockwise to pick a piece of candy and eat it. This continues until finally someone does find Pete but that person gets to eat the rest of the candy that hasn't been eaten by the group yet!
This was so funny watching her face during her turn. We let her go to the end so she could have more:) My camera's batteries died right near the end so that is why there are two videos but its funny watching her at the end.

How funny! We have the board you gave us and we play it often. The boys love it. There are so many fun things to do with M&M's and skittles! Yesterday we sorted, made patterns, and graphed them.
So you know you have to email me that board now!! That sounds so fun!
PS This Friday night is the launches of the new BODYSTEP stuff (actually, all the programs are launching in one night). You and Dave could come down and come to the launches for a hot date night! ;)
Please e-mail me the board.
We play it all the time! My girls think it is the best and love anything they get to eat. Megan looks so big and when did she get all that hair? I am jealous.
