Jelly Bean Guessing Contest

Host a Jelly Bean Guessing Contest to fundraise for Save A Child’s Heart! Simply fill up a jar with jelly beans (while keeping track of the amount) and let your peers guess how many jelly beans are in the jar. You can either do this at a pre-existing school event or simply during lunch time outside your school cafeteria. Charge students to take a guess and award the student who has the closest guess with a prize.
