"Dê sua contribuição"; "Tenha espírito de equipe"; "Objetivos atingidos".
Explanation:
There are school games in which the pupils put a bead in a jar every time a task is completed or something good is done. When the jar is full, the pupils get a reward. So "Bead in the Jar" might mean "goals have been met", since it has to do with getting a reward for a well done job or for good behavior. But it means also the team effort of everybody and then "to put a bead in the jar" could mean "to be part of the team", "to act as a team player".
Of course the final decision always will depend on context.

conta/pérola/bolha gasosa no/dentro do jarro/frasco


Explanation:
dont know of any specific translation for the above expression. All I can suggest is:
bead= conta/pérola or it can also mean bolha gasosa (i.e.in the wine)
jar=frasco/jarro/boião/pote/vaso etc

it depends now on your context really...
Good luck!

Contas no jarro


Explanation:
Pode ser que eu esteja viajando, mas não seria, por acaso, "beads in the jar"? Sabe, aquele joguinho de parque de diversões, onde se tenta adivinhar quantas contas há no jarro. Ou seja, algo difícil de ser feito.
Como eu disse, eu posso estar completamente off the mark, mas .....
