Put a red, blue, and green crayon in a bag, hat, or box.
Find a partner, and choose who goes first.
Pick a crayon from the bag. Don’t peek!
Go to the next space on the board with that color. Color in that space. This
space is now blocked. If the next space on the board is already colored
(blocked), you can’t land there, and you miss your turn. (If all of the “next”
spaces in front of you are blocked, then you lose!)
5. Put the crayon back in the bag, hat, or box.

move, stay at your spot until you pick the ending color.
