Cut rectangular "cards" out of construction paper. Tthen cut slightly smaller rectangles from wrapping paper (two of a kind from each). Glue these smaller squares to the construction paper squares . Laminate and play Memory/Concentration. You can also use pairs of Holiday stickers to make the game seasonal.
A favorite in school fairs!
Props:
Using the party's theme, select items to put in a jar. (jelly beans erasers, macaroni)
Count the items ahead of time so you know how many are in the jar.
Directions:
Let the children guess how many items are in the jar. The closest guess wins.
Sample themes:
Pirate - Guess the gold coins in the chest.
Princess - Guess the pearls in the jewel box.
Dinosaur - Guess the eggs (jelly beans) in the jar.
Sports - Guess the baseball cards in the box.
Birthday - Guess the candles in the jar.
