The Candy Bar Game

Tonight Grandma Cheryl won over all the grandkids with "The Candybar Game." I must have been sheltered as a child, cus I too had never played. You start by sitting in a circle "indian style," with the candy bars and $1 in the center (picture 1). The first person rolls the dice (picture 2), if you get a 1 or a 5, you get to choose a candy bar from the middle, and you place it behind your back (picture 3). You pass the dice clockwise (picture 4), and the next person to roll either number get's to choose a candybar or $1 from the center or can take someones candybar or $1, but ONLY IF they can remember who has it (since they are hidden). It's a very fast paced game, and the kids had lots of coaches, as you can tell. I think everyone walked away with something. The kids and parents love it, I think this will be a new tradition at Grandma's house!
