Bottle-Cap Balancing Game
What You’ll Need:
- plastic squirt-top water bottle
- paper
- decorations
- bottle caps
- large paper plate
- pencil
- paint
- thread
- beads
- chenille sticks
How to Make It:
-
Wrap a plastic squirt-top water bottle with paper and decorate it. Collect some bottle caps.
-
Turn a large paper plate upside down and draw three circles on it. Paint the circles three different colors. Let the paint dry.
-
Thread twenty beads onto a chenille stick to make a scorekeeper. Wrap the ends of the chenille stick around two more beads to hold the middle beads in place. Make one scorekeeper for each player.
To Play: Balance the paper plate on the top of the water bottle. Each player then tries to place a bottle cap on the paper plate without tipping it over. Caps successfully placed in the smallest circle are worth one point; middle circle, two points; outer circle, three points. The player who tips the plate loses five points. Whoever reaches twenty points first wins.
