The best thing about this game is that it has absolutely no prep!!
All you legit need for game pieces is a ton of candy!!
Okay well maybe not a ton… but a fair amount!!
So, if you are wondering what type of candy to use. Here are our ideas below:
- m and ms
- skittles
- Canadian smarties
- Mike and Ikes
- Jujubes
- Fruit flavored marshmallows
- Macaroons
- Chocolate Raisins
- Swedish berries or Swedish fish
- Sour Patch Kids
- Fuzzy Peaches
- Starburst
Really, we just love candy!! Yum yum yum!!
But wait!!
If you are not a candy-loving momma or you have kids that are allergic to something in it you can also use things like goldfish crackers, raisins, yogurt raisins, cheerios, chocolate chips, mini erasers, fruit snacks, really you can use anything that is small enough to fit in the squares!! If you run out of ideas just ask your kids they always have super fun suggestions of what they would like to see during the Don’t Eat Pete game!!
If you’ve never played Don’t Eat Pete before, the rules are really simple!!
- Have the players help place one candy in each square
- Send one player out of the room
- Pick one of the squares to be Happy Birthday
- Call child back in the room
- Don’t tell them the square where Happy Birthday is
- The child picks the candy off the squares one at a time.
- Your child will continue until they reach the Happy Birthday square.
- Once they pick up that candy all the other players yell Happy Birthday
