this year they not only had bingo, but they also had 6 math stations set up with games that the kids played that also helped them learn more about math (as if hayden really needs that!). after completing each game they would get a stamp. when they filled up all 6 spaces with stamps they could then put their name on 6 pieces of paper that would enter them in for a drawing to win 1 of a bunch of different prizes.
also at the raffle table they had a jar with marbles in it that the kids needed to make a guess as to how many were in it. immediately hayden said "i think it's 115!" i would have guessed far less. one of his teachers asked him how many he guessed and then she said "i guessed 80." hayden replied "oh, there are WAY more than 80 in there!"
after hayden completed all of the math games, we headed into the gym to play bingo. each kid was able to win 2 times so they were able to go and pick out 2 books to take home. shortly after winning for his second time they held the raffle. the first thing they gave out was a giant frog stuffed animal which was given to the person that guessed the correct number of marbles.
they said that 2 people had guessed exactly the right number so they had a drawing to find out who would win the frog. and the winner was....hayden skiver!!! there were exactly 115 marbles in the jar!
when the drawing was over, we headed home so hayden could tell dad all about his amazing win.
