Graphing Probability

We played a game today called Counting Colors. Students had to spin a spinner that had four colors. (red, yellow, blue, and green) Whatever color the spinner landed on they had to put a color tile of that color on their work mat to make a graph.
However, each of the sections on the spinner were not equal size. So, we had a discussion about probability. 

Which color was likely to be spun? 

When would it be certain to spin a color? 

When would it be impossible to spin a color?

It is certain we learned a lot. It is likely we will play this again. It is impossible that we didn't have fun!
