To play using this free printable game, players take turns crossing out either one or two of the cupcakes on each turn. The last cupcake is the Poison cupcake. The player who is left with that cupcake as her only option to cross out loses the game. The kids love that there are wonderful, beautiful cupcakes with lots of icing, yet one of them is POISON! You can hear them laughing and giggling when there is only the Poison Cupcake left.

This {free} strategy game for transition times works beautifully with all grade levels. In the original blog post, there are ideas for setting it up and playing with no game board needed, just some place such as a dry erase board to draw 10 dots. This makes it perfect to play during transition times. Even those unexpected free moments that are impossible to plan for!

For all the details on variations, as well as computer versions, go to the original blog post. Download your Free Poison Game and have a resource for fun and thinking that you can easily use anytime! You can find it all here!
