For this version, the game ends when the last candy bar in the middle has been taken. When you roll a one or a six, you can choose a candy from the middle OR you can steal a candy from someone else (as long as you ask a specific person for a specific candy that they do in fact have). In this variation, there is only one round. During round two, anytime you roll a three, you have to put one of your candies back in the middle, where anyone can steal it when they roll a one or six!Ĭombine rounds one and two: This is a fun variation that allows the players to determine how long they want the game to go on.

It’s a good idea to have a couple of extra candy bars to distribute to anyone who doesn’t have any candy in their sack at the end of the game – and you can let kids know that no matter what, they will get at least one candy bar at the end. Explain to kids before the game starts that candy bars will be stolen during this game so they know what to expect and don’t cry the first time something is stolen from them. You can have everyone wait until the end of round one to put their candy in their sacks OR you can choose not to hide the candy at all.

When the timer goes off, whatever you have in your own sack is yours to keep! Roll and pass the die as quickly as possible in round two so you have plenty of chances to steal back your favorite candy. This means you have to keep track of who has your favorites at the end of round one AND who is stealing the ones you want in round two.

BUT you have to ask a specific person for a specific candy bar that you think they have in their sack. This time if you roll a one or six, you can steal a candy bar from someone else. Set a timer for as long as you’d like the round to last, and start playing again. ![]() At this point all the candy bars are hidden inside people’s lunch sacks, so you can’t see what anyone else has.
