Jelly Bean Game:
3 versions.
bring some bags of jelly beans, mnms, Skittles, ect, and pull a bag out
Version 1
everyone now picks a category.
Examples!
*animals/food for really young kids
*countries/cities
*wars
*brands
*trees for nerds aka my mom
*historical moments
*ect.
Now, after everyone has a category, Start with "A". If they can name something from their category, they get 4-5 jellybeans/candy pieces. If they can't, just one. (we don't want people mad).
Go through all of the alphabet, or until your out of jellybeans/your candy.
Version 2.
similar to the last one, except now it's random trivia. Google trivia questions, and ask people questions based on their knowledge. (ex: ask the 7 year old who the first president was, and the 34 year old berd who the 21st president was)
Same amount of jellybeans/candy for right and wrong answers.
Version 3.
For kids 7-16 ish, do either math questions or capitals.
Capitals are a good way to learn geography, and especially for road trips. Math is good practice. Same amount of jellybeans/candy for right and wrong answers.
