Guess How Many

This guessing game is a staple at many birthday parties. Have a colorful jar set out where everyone can see it. Give each child a piece of paper for them to write down their guess as to the number of items in the jar along with their name. Once everyone has made a guess, open all the papers to see who came the closest to the actual number of items in the jar. Some suggestions to go along with different party themes:

  • Lego Party Theme – Guess the number of legos in the jar.
  • Pirate Party – Guess the number of gold coins in the chest.
  • Princess Party – Guess the pearls in the jewel box.
  • Dinosaur – Guess the eggs (jelly beans) in the jar.
  • Sports – Guess the baseball cards in the box.
  • Garden Party – Guess the numbers of seeds/beans in the jar. Use larger beans rather than seeds
