Game Instructions:
Stack fraction cards face down in a pile.
Place cookie pieces in a nearby group cookie sheet that everyone can reach.
The first player draws a fraction card and takes the piece indicated (ex. 1/4 takes a quarter sized piece of cookie) and places the piece on his/her game board.
If the player draws the word crumble! he removes one whole (completed) cookie from his game board and returns it to the cookie sheet. If the player does not have a completed cookie yet, he removes the cookie with the most parts completed.
The first player to fill his game board with 6 cookies wins.
This is wonderful and well, I had to have a cookie while I preparing it for my class...and a glass of milk--there goes the diet! HA! I can't wait to show it to my class, they will love it!
