— Measuring Monkeys™

How to Play:

• On your turn, spin and follow the directions.
• If you spin a measurement move your monkey on the tree. (You will need to

use a second banana peg to do this.) Remove your monkey from the old peg
so that you can clearly see all the increments on the tape measure and the
holes next to them. Measure up or down from the old peg, adding or
subtracting the number of inches shown on the spinner. Place the new banana
peg in the appropriate hole for the new measurement. Then remove the old
peg to use on your next turn. Attach your monkey to the new banana peg.

• If you spin "turn the tree," turn the tree in the direction indicated so that the

next side of the tree is facing you. Every player now has a new monkey to
move. Spin again and move your new monkey.

• If you spin "dropped the banana," pull out your monkey’s banana peg and let

your monkey fall down to the bottom of the tree. Place the banana in the
lowest hole and hook your monkey’s hand around it.

• To win, be the first player to get a monkey’s hand to the 12" mark at the top

of the tree.
