Plinko








A while back we did an amazing project that I saw on a blog (I think it was adventures in unschooling) any who we tweaked it a little and made our own game. I think you could either call it Plink o or Pinball. We started out with a scrap piece of would used our math skills to measure two inch squares on the board. Then we pounded nails at all the crossroads of our lines then the fun began with our rubber bands pulling and twisting and stretching them all over our board to form different paths for our ball to go down. We used gum balls for our game pieces rather than marbles since we still have a baby in the house plus our rules were if you made your gum ball get through the maze you got to eat it! An intensive project that was unique and so much fun!
