A step-by-step guide to play the game

Gather the players in a circle.

In the middle of the circle lay the clothes (e.g. coat, scarf, skirt, hat, etc.) and a plate with an apple, a fork and a knife.

One player starts by throwing a die. If this player rolls a six, he/she may walk to the middle, put on the dress-up clothes and cut into the apple with knife and fork, if he/she manages to cut off a piece, this person may eat it.

The die remains mean in the circle and the other children keep throwing. If someone throws another six, that person gets to go to the middle. The previous player must immediately stop eating and take off their dress-up clothes and sit in their place.

The winner of the game is the player who can eat the last piece of the apple.

After the game, you can link the exercise to the right to survive by starting a discussion (see additional game information).
