Have residents put on their guessing goggles and check out your gigantic jar filled to the tippy-top with all different kinds of treats!

Residents can make their best guess for the jar guessing game and write down how many items they think are filling up that giant jar! The resident(s) with the guess closest to the correct number (without going over) will win a fun prize or be given a $25 gift card!

Keeping a guessing game jar in the office is a simple, inexpensive, and easy event to repeat once a month. Residents and their children can make their guesses when they stop by the office to drop off rent…or just to chat.

Every month, a few days before rent is due, set up a guessing game jar in the office filled with small seasonal candy or other fun items.

Keep guesses to one per person and keep track of entries using these free printable estimation jar slips or make your own.
