SPEED ERASER

Challenge: Bounce pencils (so that they bounce on their eraser end) so they flip and land in a cup or mug.

Supplies needed: lots of unsharpened pencils, 4 cups or mugs – you’ll want them heavy enough that they won’t topple over when hit with a flying pencil, a long table and a timer.

1. Put the 4 cups/mugs clustered together out on the table.
2. Set the timer.
3. Only one pencil can be thrown at a time and must bounce off the table and then flip into the cup where it must stay. If it bounces in and out it doesn’t count.
4. In order to win, you have to have at least one pencil in each of the 4 cups, all within 60 seconds.
