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.
