In Math today our class played a game called Pumpkin Logic with Mrs. Metz's class. The object of the game is not to end up with the bat. Each pair started with a bag of pumpkins and one bat. You take turns taking either one or two pumpkins. The students quickly discovered a strategy for winning the game. Next we decided to change the number of pumpkins there are to see if that would make a difference in our strategy. Then we decided to see if adding another player to our group would change the strategy. We won't tell you what we discovered. Play it and see if you can figure out a strategy that works for you!

| Deciding who goes first! I wonder if that makes a difference? |
 |
| How many should I take? |

| Hmmm. . . . does it make a difference with 3 players? |
