Object

To be the first player to collect all (4) action tokens and have 4 or more monkeys on the bed.

Set-Up

• Punch out the tokens and position them beside the game board so all of the tokens are visible.
• Place the spinner arrow and the base into the spinner card.
• Position the bed onto the game board. The bed feet should go into the (4) holes on the game board.
• Gently push down the center of bed (yellow section) until it locks into place. The yellow section and the side panels of the bed will be even.
• Separate the monkeys by color and have each player choose a set of monkeys.

Playing the Game

1. All players place one of their monkeys onto the START space.

   NOTE: This monkey will act as a moving piece on the game board throughout the game.

2. Players place their remaining (5) monkeys in front of themselves.

3. The youngest player goes first and places one of his/her monkeys onto the bed. The player then spins the spinner and moves to the right the correct number of spaces.

4. Action spaces. Players act out the action on the space they land on, place a monkey on the bed and collect a token with the image of the action completed: "Take a Bath," "Brush Teeth," "Put on PJs" and "Go to Bed."

   The four action tokens are shown on the sheet as follows:

   • Take a Bath – Players act out taking a bath.
   • Put on PJs – Players act out putting on their PJs.
   • Brush Teeth – Players act out brushing their teeth.
   • Go to Bed – Players act out going to bed.

   NOTE: If a player lands on an action space a second time, no token is taken but the player still gets to act out the action.

5. Monkeys jumping on the bed spaces. Players place the specified number of monkeys onto the bed if landing on one of these spaces. The monkey spaces are shown on the board as icons numbered 1, 2 and 3.

   NOTE: If a player lands on a monkey space and does not have the specified number of monkeys, the player will place all remaining monkeys on the bed. For example, if a player lands on place (3) monkeys on the bed but only has (2) monkeys, the player will place his/her (2) remaining monkeys onto the bed.

Winning the Game

The first player with all (4) tokens and 4 or more monkeys on the bed, wins the game. If two or more players have all (4) tokens and have the same number of monkeys on the bed, all players are declared winners.
