Instructions

OTI GAME – market theme

Up to ten players. Print out the shopping list pages and cut out the shopping lists so you have ten in total. Paste onto card or laminate if you plan to reuse them, or just print out a new set every time you play.

Print out the ticket page, glue onto card, and cut along the black lines to make the 30 individual tickets.

Each player must be given one shopping list.

Place the tickets in a bag or container. One person must draw out the ticket and yell out what it is to the other players, showing them the ticket if necessary. If the item is on their shopping list, the player can either tick or place a counter on the blue square.

This continues until a player has all of their shopping list items ticked or covered. The player must then yell out “OTI” (finished), and will become the winner.
