Pick-a-Lolly

Here's a great game for the children, and adults too, especially when there's a prize-a-time and it's edible!

How the game works
You paint a certain number of lollipop sticks (bottom only), some yellow, some red and the rest leave plain. The lollies are then mixed and placed in the lolly stand so that only the top of the lolly shows. The child picks a lolly. If it has a yellow stick they get their money back (they'll often have another go). If they pick a red stick they get a prize. Those that choose a plain stick still get to keep the lolly so nobody goes away disappointed.

Price per go/Prize suggestions
We suggest you charge 30p per go to cover the cost of the lolly and any prizes. For 'winning lollies' we suggest a prize valued at around 20p e.g. Lucky Dips (L11) or Novelty Eggs (L4). Make sure you have enough lollies! For medium to large events you will need up to 480 lollies.
