TO SET UP- Place one piece of licorice, one Pixie Stick, and a Hershey's kiss each in their designated spot on the page. Pour 25 M&Ms into a small container and set in front of contestant.
TO PLAY THE GAME- Set a timer for a minute aaaaaaaaand, GO!
1. Fill each circle with an M&M.
2. How may of each color are there?
3. Open a Hershey's kiss with one hand, eat it, and put the garbage in it's spot.
4. Empty pixie stick onto heart.
5. Bite ends off of licorice and blow pixie powder outside of the heart.
DONE! How'd you do?
IF YOU'RE NOT KEEN ON MESSES AND ARE PLAYING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN-
1. Use two hands instead of one on #3 above.
2. Skip #5 all together and have the child blow a "do-do-DO" in their licorice to signal the timer's stop.
Much less messy and helps out on the time.
We did this in my son's class and let me tell ya, they LOVED it!!!
Thanks so much, Stacy Julian, for your super fun idea!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Okay, so after actually playing the game, I realized the spot for the licorice was too small and it actually took 2 minutes to accomplish all that. Either that, or I'm just really slow. Haha! Anyway, I decided to fix my page. So here's the new 2 MINUTE TO WIN IT page! Also, I added a spot for the contestant's name, and their time. I gave a special prize to the kid with the fastest time... which was 1:22!
Enjoy.
Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteIf you are still emailing the PDF to people I would love for you to send it to: chr1sr@juno.com the kids in my daughters class would love this! Thank you for updating and sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you be willing to help me? I'd love to have this as a PDF file and I am VERY familiar with saving the image and printing it that way, but this is for a birthday party "invite". I'd love the valentine's day wording to say "Tyson's 8th Birthday" and I'd love M&Ms to be changes to skittles. I tried to insert a text box onto your words and make the changes myself, but your spacing is too small and the text box winds up covering the other words. His party is this Friday. YIKES.
