Inventions!

Creating a new game can be great fun!

Collect materials such as these:
• Straws, boxes, cardboard rolls, spools, boxes, scraps of wood, foil, beads, buttons, styrofoam, margarine tubs, string, yarn, tape, scrap paper, markers, crayons and any other items you can think of!

Directions:
Using some or all of these materials, create a new game. When you are finished explain it to friends or family members.
Here’s an example of a game you can make with some of the stuff listed above.
