Don’t Eat Pete!

Here’s a fun and easy game to play with your children or grandchildren.

It’s also an activity I leave out for the babysitter.

What you need:

Any small snacks (cereal, candy, tiny crackers, peanuts, raisins)

1 piece of paper and a writing utensil

To do:

1. On a sheet of white paper, draw a large grid – nine squares.
2. Put a number on each square.
3. Put a small snack on each square.
4. Have ONE person leave the room.
5. Have another person choose which square is “Pete.”
6. Ask the person who left the room to come back. He or she eats one snack at a time. When they grab the snack that is “Pete,” everyone screams:

“DON’T EAT PETE!”

Their turn is over.

Repeat as many times as your kids are interested!

Parenting tip:

Are you having a hard time getting your kids to eat certain foods? Cut it into SMALL pieces and use it on the game board.

You can turn this game into LUNCH!

1. Cover the game board with a piece of plastic wrap.
2. Cut up small pieces of a protein of your choice, fruits, and vegetables.
3. Play!
