School Guess How Many Game

I recently created a Guess How Many Wedding Game that my adult kids used for a combined bachelor and bachelorette weekend. Then, while out for a walk with my husband, he talked about having a gift card to raffle off at a teacher training day. I suggested perhaps I also create a School Guess How Many Game as a way to choose a winner. A few days passed, and he asked if I could make a school-themed Guess How Many Game, so I got right on it!

Prize Ideas

• Gift Cards – Oftentimes teachers like to be able to grab a coffee or a bite to eat near the school when they have long days so a gift card to a local establishment would be a nice treat.
• The Jar – A jar full of supplies that the teacher wouldn’t normally have access to would be a sweet prize! Or, a jar full of candy might hit the spot.
• School Spirit Gear – A shirt or sweatshirt with the school logo that can be worn to school would be fun.
• Amazon, Target, or Walmart Gift Card – They can choose whether they spend it on themselves or for something they need for the classroom.
• Movie Gift Card – To spend a little time taking their mind off of the everyday struggles.
