Finn and Sangeet’s Game

Finn’s class periodically has a class store where they can make things and then sell them to classmates. For the first one, he and Bruce made a watermelon out of Papier-mâché. This time, he and his friend Sangeet decided to make a game. Here is their initial sketch.

It’s a little bit like skee-ball in that you throw balls and try to get into certain holes for more points. I don’t have any pictures of them building it, but here are a couple of them painting it. It’s made of chicken wire, cardboard, and plastic tubing.

Here’s a shot of Finn on his way to school the morning of the store. The final paint job took on an Olympic theme.

They decided not to sell the game itself. Instead they sold turns to play it and win candy. It was apparently a huge hit.
