Goldfish Races

This afternoon we set up a snack time activity. I've never met a kid who doesn't love Goldfish crackers! This is an easy game that is sure to be a hit! 

I found the game here: http://handsonaswegrow.com/6-activities-goldfish-crackers/

Supplies: straws, Goldfish crackers, painters tape

To set up, use the painters tape to mark a start line and a finish line on a table. 

Each player gets a straw and a one cracker. Use the straw to blow the Goldfish to the finish line. 

It took Monkey a few tries to get the hang of it. He had to figure out how to aim and how hard to blow to move the goldfish. 

He ended up with a strategy that looked like this..

Whatever works, right?!

Of course, the best part about the game was that Monkey could eat the Goldfish! He actually played with his original fish for about ten races before he ate it. But after that he ate both our crackers after every race... right off the table. 

"Oops I ate them again we'll have to get new ones!" ...giggling hysterically. 

Yum!
