STICKY BALLS

Challenge: Roll 5 marbles and get them to stick on the tape at the end of a table.

Supplies needed: lots of marbles from the dollar store, a container to hold the marbles, a long plastic table, double-sided tape, and a timer.

  1. Cut a strip of double-sided tape that will run the width of the table.
  2. Place the marbles in the container and place the container at the opposite end of the table from the tape.
  3. One hand may touch the marbles but the other hand must be placed behind the back. The player should be standing at the end of the table where the marbles have been placed.
  4. Set the timer for 60 seconds.
  5. The player may start to roll the marbles, one at a time, in an attempt to get them to stick to the tape at the other end of the table. If he or she can get 5 marbles to stick on the tape (for at least 3 seconds) before the timer runs out, the game has been won.
  6. If you run this game lots of times, you may want to replace the tape halfway through so the tape is still quite sticky.
