For a fun ending to the Classroom Minute To Win It Games, let kids pick a prize from the adorable Valentine Treasure Chest Toy Assortment.
Project by: The Crafting Chicks
Begin by gathering supplies like little toys and trinkets from the Valentine Treasure Chest Toy Assortment as well as a few Valentine Candies. Once you have all your supplies, start wrapping one item up and keep wrapping the saran wrap around and around in various directions, adding prizes randomly to it as you go. To play the saran wrap ball game you’ll need your completed saran wrap ball, a pair of dice and a bowl. Begin by sitting everyone in a circle and giving one person the saran wrap ball and the person to their left the bowl and dice. To play you must keep the ball on your lap at all times and unwrap it as fast as you can while the person to your left keeps rolling the dice until they get doubles. Once they roll a double, the dice will pass to the person on their left and the saran wrap ball will pass to the dice roller. Once the person to their left rolls a double the ball gets passed again. Keep unwrapping the saran wrap ball as fast as possible the entire time the person is rolling, until they roll a double. You get to keep any prizes you unwrap. Use gloves for older kids to make it a bit more challenging! Have the kids place all the goodies they won into a Valentine’s Day Cellophane Bag and attach the Valentine Free Printable Tag.
