Supplies:

  • candy or prizes
  • 30 plastic cups (with flat bottoms)
  • orange tissue paper
  • green tissue paper
  • foam core poster board
  • rubberbands
  • yellow construction paper
  • green construction paper
  • black construction paper
  • hot glue gun
  • marker
  • scissors

Steps:

  1. Cut the orange and green tissue paper into squares, big enough to cover the top of the cup and hang down the sides. I set the cup upside down on the paper to figure out the proper size. (28 orange pieces and 2 green pieces)
  2. test for the tissue paper
     
  3. Put a candy or prizes into each cup. Then cover with a square of tissue paper and secure the paper with a rubber band. Repeat until all of the cups are covered.
  4. candy inside cup

I made this game after seeing one on Pinterest. Not only did it turn out super cute, it was a lot of fun...even for my daughter's 5th grade class! It would obviously be great for younger kids too.
