Contents:
Game board
45 Markers (15 of each)
Spinner
15 Fruit pieces
Object of the game:
Be the first player to place 3 markers in a row, in any direction
(horizontal, vertical, or diagonal).
Set up:
Each player takes all of one type of marker (for example, all the "ice
cream with a cherry" markers). Place all the fruit pieces, fruit side up in
the box.
Each fraction family is represented as a different flavor pie on the game
board’s menu. The fractions on the spinner are color coordinated with the
menu. Use the menu to help you locate the correct flavor pie on the game
board.
Game play:
• The first player spins and places a marker on the pie space that
represents the fraction on the spinner or an equivalent fraction (also
shown on spinner). If a player spins 1 whole, he or she must choose an
equivalent fraction. Then it is the next player’s turn.
• If a player spins a fraction and the pie space already has a marker on it,
the player may place his or her marker on top of the other player's
marker. The marker on top controls the pie space on the board. Players
may continue to stack markers until they are "high in the sky!"
•Pick-a-fruit – If a player spins this, he or she chooses one fruit piece
from the box. The player reads the message on the back and returns the
fruit piece to the box. The messages on the fruit pieces are:
Lose a pie – player removes one of his or her markers from the
game board.
Trade pies – Swap pies with another player by switching the
markers on the board. If there is more than 1 marker on the pie
space chosen, only the top marker is moved.
Pick a pie – player places a marker on any pie that matches the
fruit piece he or she chose. For example, if a player chose an
apple fruit piece, he or she chooses any apple pie.
• The first player to place 3 markers in a row, in any direction, wins!
