Playing the Game

  • Divide players into two teams

  • Let the kids take turns digging - one bone at a time - out of the peanuts
  • The fastest team to get all of the skeleton bones out of the peanuts wins the game
  • *Alternative Game - Number the skeleton bones to correspond with prizes. When kids pull a bone out, they trade it in for the prize that corresponds with the bone they found.

Or, let teams go one at a time and time them. The one to be the quickest to find all the bones wins the game
