Punch A Prize Party Game

For my nephews birthday, I am in charge of games.  I created this punch a prize game for very cheap!  Heres how:

Materials Needed:
  • One science fair board (got mine at Michaels, was $4.99 but used 50% off coupon so I paid $2.50)
  • Paper lunch sacks
  • Tissue Paper (bought a pack of 25 sheets at the Dollar Tree)
  • Clear Tape
  • One CD (for tracing circles)
  • Exacto Knife
  • 12 small prizes

Steps:
  1. Trace CD onto science fair board.  I did 12 circles and the board stands on its own.  I would think doing more may mess up the balance or make it too heavy.
  2. Cut out circles using exacto knife or any knife.  This cardboard cuts very easily!
  3. Cut 12 squares slightly large than the circles.
  4. Using clear tape, tape tissue paper onto back of board over each circle.
  5. Cut top off of brown bag (I did about 1/4 off).  Slit each of the corners of the bag about 1 inch down and fold over.
  6. Add clear tape to each flap.
  7. Place small, lightweight prize in bag.
  8. Tape bag over tissue paper.
  9. Reinforce using more clear tape if needed.
  10. Decorate the front as you wish!
This can be used over and over again once you get the board done.  Here is how it turned out:



Kids will love being surprised by the prize they get.  If your prizes are too heavy, place numbers inside bags and have numbered prizes off to the side!
