Online compatible : No
Age group : Best played students aged between 4 and 10
Materials :
- A pack of plastic eggs.
- Plasticine or another doughy substance to bind each egg together (make sure that it is safe for the age group of students).
Preparation time : None
Number of players : Works equally well in groups as in private classes
Objective : To be the team to score the most points by building the highest tower of eggs when the time runs out.
A tower of 5 eggs scores 5 point for the team.
Instructions :
Divide the class into teams and distribute an equal amount of plasticine, or other putty-like substance to each team. Set a timer for 2 minutes. When the timer begins teams must compete to build towers by applying plasticine to each egg to bind it to another. When the two minutes are up, each level of egg within the tower scores a point for the team. Therefore, students who have used three eggs for stability at the first level of the tower and one egg attached on top, still only score two points, despite using 4 eggs in total, as the tower is still only two levels high. After a number of rounds count the scores for all teams. The team to score the most wins.
