Cardboard Arcade Challenge

Our 2nd & 3rd graders have embarked upon a cardboard arcade challenge!

We asked our families to donate their cardboard and other recyclable materials for our cause, and boy did they come through!  Thank you, families!



Then, we got into the planning stages of our arcade design.  We pondered some questions:  What makes a game interesting to play?  What makes you want to play a game over and over again?  What are things every game needs to have?  What is your favorite arcade game? Why?  Then, we started brainstorming some ideas for games with our partner(s). We sketched a design plan, discussed some ideas for rules and instructions, and presented our ideas to the class.  The class responded with feedback and questions for each group.



We learned about the engineering design process, and then it was time to build a prototype.  




A BIG thank you for donating to our prizes for our Arcade.  We can't wait to show you the arcade games!
