day 130: count the jelly beans if you dare!

count the jelly beans
day 130 and it's another quicky ;)  my brother-in-law arrived for a surprise visit today and the day got away on me!  today's creative idea comes from bhg and their halloween game ideas.  i pinned their halloween party games to my holiday goodness board.  bhg have kids counting candy corn which we don't have in nz so i went with black jelly beans :)

i counted out two packets of black jelly beans filled an empty jam jar.  i then dressed the jar with the same free party printables design i used for the banner on day 125.

fill a jar of jelly beans :)

add some decoration and wait for the
guessing to begin :)

outcome: this is one of those cool passive games that can go on during the party and have a winner at the end.  i am really excited for this party idea as the kids can go and make a 'guess' when they are not involved in other games and its an extra special little something that doesn't need to be managed but EVERYONE can participate in!
