It’s nice to spruce up the Christmas tree with light even if your brothers and sisters are a little competitive about it. This year you’ll show them how to do it right.

To play you will need to print out the game sheet and have a different colored pencil or crayon for each player. The board represents a Christmas tree the bulbs on it and the wires that join them.

On his turn a player will do one of two things -- 1) Color in any bulb not already part of a string of lights or 2) Continue a string of lights. This is done by coloring in a wire from a bulb of your color to another unclaimed bulb coloring it in.

Continue until there are no more bulbs to be claimed. Then the tree is scored -- one point for each bulb, one point for each wire.
