How to Play
M&M’s typically come in six colors: brown, yellow, green, red, orange, and blue.
Give each player 10 (or more) M&M’s of a good mix of colors.
On “go”, players must go around and exchange M&M’s with other players.
The first player to have all 10 (or more) M&M’s of the same color wins.

Is there a way I could print these instructions without the pictures and the BibleGames logo on top of some of these instructions?
Perhaps you can cut and paste the text into Microsoft Word or Google Docs and print from there?
