Object of the Game
Be the first player to move a monkey
to the 12" mark at the top of the tree.
Set Up
• Fold the tree trunk. Insert it into
the base. Pop the treetop onto
the trunk as shown.
• Make sure each monkey slides easily
from the top to the bottom of the tree.
To adjust the tension on a monkey:
unfold the tree, hold both the
front and the back of the monkey,
and gently pull on the circular
plastic back to loosen.
• Pop the two-piece plastic
spinner arrow into the
cardboard spinner center
as shown.
• Choose a level of play. Level 1 uses only 1" increments and
uses the green side of the spinner. Level 2 uses " increments
and the red side of the spinner. Assemble the spinner so that
the arrow faces the appropriately colored side.
• Choose the side of the tree that is facing you and
place a banana peg in the lowest red hole. Hook
the monkey’s hand over the banana peg. Begin
playing on this side of the tree. When the tree is
turned, you will move the new monkey that is
facing you.
*Note: Each hole on the tree is color-
coded
according to the unit of measurement
located next to it. A red hole is located
next to each full inch. A green hole is
located next to each measurement
ending in inch. A blue hole is located
next to each measurement ending in
inch. A yellow hole is located next to
each measurement ending in inch.
