    DON'T EAT PETE GAME 

    This is a popular game for so many reasons. Besides printing out the game, there is essentially no prep needed to have this fun party game ready. 

    Don't Eat Pete is a classic game and perfect for any time of year, but this version is specifically great for Back-to-School time. 

    Plus, you can grab the free printable game board at the end of the post! 

    Use it at a Back to School party,  in the classroom to break the ice with new students, or with your family at your Back to School dinner. 

     

    HOW TO PLAY DON'T EAT PETE

    1. Have one person go out of the room. 
    2. All the remaining players choose one square that is "Pete". 
    3. Put a small piece of candy on each square, including the one that was chosen as Pete. 
    4. Have the person come back into the room. They start eating the candy. 
    5. As soon as they reach the square that was chosen, all the players yell, "Don't Eat Pete!" 
    6. The person stops eating the candy. 
    7. Another person is chosen to go out of the room. 
    8. Keep playing until everyone has a turn. 

    WHAT CANDY/FOOD TO USE

    The best candy for this game is small candy or food since you'll need a lot of pieces. I recommend: 

    • Plain M&Ms
    • Skittles
    • Smarties
    • Craisins
    • Raisins
    • Oyster crackers
    • Goldfish crackers

    There you have it! You are all ready to play this classic game for kids. Just click print to download the free game board. Pick up some small treats and have a blast!
