Prep:2

Active Time:25

Total Time:27

Foam Core or Cardboard
Large Plastic Cups
Tissue Paper around 8” x 8” squares or for a neater look cut the tissue paper into circles
Rubber Bans
Prizes we used these pop-its as a lightweight option that kids love.

Place your prizes into the cups. Make sure you are putting very lightweight items inside.
Pre-cut tissue paper into 8” x 8” squares or circles with that diameter. It does not have to be exact, you just don’t want your paper to be small as it makes it harder to pull it tight across the cup.
Use a rubber band or bands to attach the tissue paper over the cups. Using two rubber bands will help you get the tissue paper tight enough.
Cover all your cups.
Layout your desing on the foam core.
Glue cups on by placing a generous amount of glue on to the bottom of the red cups.
Optional: Add extra decorations to your board.
Punch the tissue paper and have fun playing the game.

Space cups out so that you can reuse your board for different holidays.
Test the tightness of your tissue paper so that you make sure you hear the rip or pop sound. If the paper is too loose, it will just collapse on itself instead of rip.
Whatever you choose to put in the cups, just make sure that the prizes are light enough so the cups can support whatever you place inside.
Consider painting a simple sign first and then adding the cups on top. We have seen awesome candy cane boards, hearts and different tree shapes.
