HOW TO PLAY - GO AWAY MONSTERS - GAME
RULES
Availability: Usually
ships within 24 hours
Object:
The game ends when
all the players have completed their bedroom game boards and all the
monsters have been thrown into the "monster pit."
Set-Up:
Give each player
one bedroom game board. Place the extra boards off to one side.
Or, in a two-player game, give each player a second board, if you like.
For each board that you don't use, set aside one bed, one lamp, one
picture, and one teddy bear (it doesn't matter which ones).
Look over all the monsters and the puzzle pieces. Pick them up and
see how they feel. You'll find that some monsters are about the
same size and shape as the bedroom puzzle pieces.
Then put all the monsters and puzzle pieces in the monster bag and mix
them up.
Game Play:
The oldest player
begins (setting the example for the younger kids). Reach into the
monster bag and feel around for an item to place in the blank spaces on
your bedroom board. With your hand in the bag, try to distinguish
between the different pieces, and decide which one feels as if it's the
size and shape of a piece you need.
If you pull out a
puzzle piece you need for your board, place it on the correct spot on
your bedroom board. (Keep in mind that the puzzle pieces are
interchangeable. Some pieces may look better on some boards than
on others, but there's no right or wrong way to decorate the room.)
If you pull out a
puzzle piece you already have, give it to another player who needs it.
If you pull out a
monster, toss it into the center of the circle (we call it the monster
pit, some kids like to call it jail) and say, "go away
monster!"...or sit on it, or hide it in the box, or throw it out the
door. You decide how to get rid of those silly monsters.
After all, you're in charge!
One by one, moving
around the circle to the left, take turns removing an item from the bag.
Once you pull out an item - whether you keep it, share it, or toss it -
your turn is over. Pass the bag to the player on your left.
Ending the Game:
Continue playing
until all the puzzle pieces and monsters have been pulled out of the bag
and are either placed on the bedroom boards or tossed into the monster
pit. When the game is over, get rid of the monsters for good by
taking them out of the monster pit, putting them back in the monster
bag, and storing the bag in your Go Away Monster! box until the next
time you play.
