For my last post before the summer I have a fun game that you can try and build to keep you entertained over the summer holidays.
Build a marble run!
You will need : a carboard box lid or a paper plate, paper, straws, scissors, glue and a marble/small ball.
Step 1 – Cut a few strips of paper (depending on the size of your lid/plate). These will be your tunnels or barriers.
Step 2 – Glue the paper to the cardboard lid/paper plate ensure you leave enough room for your marble to roll through. You could also add some straws to make a track.
Step 3 – Place your marble on the lid/plate and try and move it around your course.
If you make tunnels with the paper on you marble run (like the plate picture above) then you could make the game more challenging. You could add a numbers, letters or even a sum to the top of each tunnel and when your marble goes through the tunnel you need to identify what number/letter or what the answer is to the sum it went under is.
Have fun!
Enjoy the summer holidays see you all soon!
