Sarah: You could do a lot with finger jell-0. you would have to prepare and refrigerate the Jell-0 (giving your time constraints). But you could do a number of different colors (each in their own pan) from which the students could pick.
Here are some finger Jell-0 recipes that were previously posted on TKL.
Let us know what you do. (We should probably be posting this exchange on the "Party Board" ... maybe Betsy could move it for us ? :-)

LAYERED JELL-O
To show off your layering, pick your
Jell-O flavors so that each layer is
a very different color from the adjoining
layer. Or, add whipping cream to one of
the layers to lighten the color. Many
layers can be built up this way.
When layering Jell-0, you can make the
layered treat so the different layers
stick together tightly, or you can make
the layers so they "peel" apart.
Kids seem to love the peel-apart layers.
The difference is the amount of time you
allow each layer to gel before adding the
next. The longer the Jell-O sits inbetween
adding the layers, the easier it is to
pull apart
