What Is “Don’t Eat Pete”?

This classic kids’ game is silly, suspenseful, and full of giggles.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Print the Halloween game board and place a small treat (like candy corn or M&Ms) on each character square.
  2. One child leaves the room while the others pick which monster is “Pete.”
  3. The player comes back and starts eating the candies one at a time.
  4. But the moment they try to eat the candy on Pete… everyone yells “Don’t eat Pete!” and their turn ends!

So easy. So fun. So full of sugar-fueled laughter.
