Snappy Dressers: Sloth Scramble



 

Sloth Scramble — How to play

🧩 SETUP (do this first)

  1. Take out the 7 sloth cards




  2. Place them in a vertical line → this is the “tree”

  3. Each player:

    • Draws 1 random card → this is your climber (your marker)

    • Places it below Sloth 1 → Everyone starts at the bottom

  4. Shuffle the rest of the deck and place it face down


▶️ GAME FLOW (repeat until someone wins)

1. Flip a card

  • Turn over 1 card from the deck

2. Everyone looks & races

Each player checks:

  • The flipped card

  • The next sloth ABOVE them

3. Find a match

Look for a match in:

  • 🎁 Gift

  • 👕 Clothing color, glasses



4. First player shouts the match

Example:
 “BLUE HAT!” or “BALLOON!”

✅ Must be correct

5. That player chooses ONE action:

⬆️ Option A — Move UP

  • Move up his/her marker card 1 level on the tree

⬇️ Option B — Move someone DOWN

  • Choose any player marker card

  • Move them down 1 level

6. Discard the flipped card

  • It’s used and removed

  • Flip a new card → next round

🏆 WINNING

  • First player to reach the top sloth wins
