Candy guessing game

 Candy guessing game


During Halloween I usually do this for my students. I simply fill an empty and cleaned pasta jar or box or food container with candy. Any kind will do get creative mix types lollipops, jelly beans, candy corn the choices are endless. All you do is have the children as they walk in guess the number of candy pieces in the container and write it down and put it in a ballot box. Then when you are ready you can announce the winner. Kids love to get exclusive prizes you can also give a lolly to each kid who participated.  


Materials:

Empty jar
Candy
pieces of paper
pen, marker, or pencil 
Shoe box with slit cut out decorated as you desire


Method:

Step 1: clean a pasta jar by soaking in hot soapy water over night remove label 
Step 2: dry thoroughly and fill with candy. 
Step 3: decorate ballot box and set at entrance with a pen and pieces of paper. 


Tips:

*Count as you add candy to jar or box.
*Using a reusable food container is a great way to keep it simple 
*You can use another jar or plastic jack-o-lantern to collect ballots as well so that you don't have to decorate a box.

Hey guys, Just saw that this little blog has reached close to 1000 views. I'm really excited you all found time to visit this blog. A lot has been going on in my life. I moved to Australia and now trying to manage two blogs this one and my http://cancookncraft.weebly.com/. I'm dealing with the ins and outs of everyday life and trying to study, maintain a house and myself. It's been one crazy year so far, I'm also getting used to the metric system and everything being backwards. In the coming months I'll post more to this blog my main blog will be the weebly blog because it allows me more structure for my blog. I hope you guys check that one out as well. I'd be happy to hear from some of you. What are your thoughts I see the views but no comments. Thanks again, CC
