INSTRUCTIONS -
Select a level that
is age appropriate
Level 1:
Players pick up one “Fruit & Vegetable” card each time they chance to land
on a “Fruit” or “Vegetable” space. Players who land on a space other than a
“Fruit” or “Vegetable” have to give up one of their “Fruit & Vegetable”
cards, if they have one. The player with the most “Fruit & Vegetable” cards
in hand after all players have reached the “Finish” wins the game.
Level 2:
Players who land on a space other than a “Fruit” or “Vegetable” have to give
up one of their “Fruit & Vegetable” cards AND forfeit their next
turn.
Level 3:
Challenge players further by requiring them to shout “FRUITS & VEGGIES!”
before picking up a “Fruit & Vegetable” card. If a player forgets to shout
“Fruits & Veggies” before picking up their playing card, and they are caught
by another player before the next player spins, the player who forgets to
shout forfeits the opportunity to pick up their card.
