Set containers onto tablecloths so the clean up is easy
Pour the packaging peanuts into your containers
Dived the bones pushed the bones into the peanuts and hid them well
Playing the Game
Divide players into two teams
When you're ready yell go
Let the kids take turns digging - one bone at a time - out of the peanuts
The fastest team to get all of the skeleton bones out of the peanuts wins the game
*Alternative Game - Number the skeleton bones to correspond with prizes. When kids pull a bone out, they trade it in for the prize that corresponds with the bone they found.
If purchasing 2 bags of bones is too expensive, then you can divide one bag
Or, let teams go one at a time and time them. The one to be the quickest to find all the bones wins the game
