Tippy Tepee
Photograph by Ed Judice
This simple game is like a hybrid of Jenga and pickup sticks.
- What You Need
-
- wire cutters or strong scissors (an adult's job)
- 20 bamboo skewers
- scrapbook paper
- tacky glue
- Instructions
-
-
Setup: To make it, use wire cutters or strong scissors to trim the point from 20 bamboo skewers so that they're 6 to 8 inches long (an adult's job).
Form a ring from a 4- by 3/4-inch strip of scrapbook paper by overlapping the ends about 1/2 inch and securing them with tacky glue or tape. Place the sticks inside the ring and set them on a table, twisting the sticks so that they fan out, as shown. -
To play, take turns carefully sliding a stick up and out of the tepee. Whoever makes the tepee fall down loses.*
-
- Tips:
- * If your tepee is too tippy, try making your paper ring slightly wider, or start with 15 sticks instead of 20.
