You’ll need cardboard, twine, a screwdriver, a utility knife or scissors, origami or construction paper, masking tape, a bold marker, stickers, toilet paper rolls, clothespins, and prizes.

If you bundle the twine and thread it through the inside of the toilet paper roll in advance, it seems to help prevent the strings from getting tangled!

Curling Bingo Game

Make it with paper cups! Here’s an idea for a curling bingo game.

Curling is the sport where you slide heavy stones across an ice rink and try to place them as close as possible to the center of a target area called the house to score points, right? This time, let’s use paper cups as the stones and set the house as a 3×3 grid to enjoy a bingo-style game.

Split into two teams and, like tic-tac-toe, adjust your force and control your direction to line up three in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
