I had never heard of the game “Don’t Eat Pete”, but as soon as I saw it here (with a free download of a game board), I knew my son would love it!  It is so simple, but sounds very fun.  Here’s how Candace at Sparkle Power describes How to play:

Send the first player away from the game board or into another room, then have the remaining players choose which one of the twelve people on the game board will be “Pete” for the round. Place one M&M in each square of the game board. Have the first player come back and begin picking and eating M&M’s from the game board. As soon as the player tries to pick “Pete” everyone yells “Don’t Eat Pete!” The player keeps all the M&M’s picked up before trying to get Pete. Refill the game board and play again with the next player.

You can use cereal or other small snack foods as well as any type of small candy for this game.

This cute gameboard designed by her husband looks great printed on card stock or picture paper!

After seeing the post on Stem about an Election Party, I so want to have one (or go to one — someone invite me!)  Look at all her great ideas (below).  I especially love the Lumi-loons balloons and the Election Topics cards.  Ok, so who’s hosting? 

check out Stem for so many fun ideas!
