Have you ever heard of or played the game ‘Go Ape’?
Miles was given a gift on my birthday as well (Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!)
It’s a blast to play with my adorable, nearly 3 year old not-so-baby boy!
It’s a lot like Old Maid, except you match poses instead of numbers, animals or some other game variant.
Here are the basics:
Each player is dealt 5 cards. The object is to make matches in groups of 3. The player with the most matches at the end of the game wins!
One player will ask another of his/her choice, “Do you have a monkey that looks like this? <insert pose copying that on the card of interest>
If you have the card being asked for, you give it to the player asking for it. If you do not have the specific card requested, you tell them to “go ape” and then a new card is drawn from the center pile.
Let me show you a couple of poses… (Isn’t he precious?!?! He’s mastered the art of mimicry!)
Oops – the camera died before I snapped a photo of this card – but the pose was way too cute not to include. I’m not about to rifle though Miles’ room to find the game and take a picture tonight.
Enjoy the incomplete post – and sorry about sticking my face in there. Miles demanded to snap a few photos too!
Go Ape!
