Build a bridge

The idea of this game is simple - split your group into teams of 3 or 4, and give each team a "Building Kit" (explained below) and a bowl of water.  Each group has 30 minutes to build a bridge to span across a bowl of water. 

At the end of 30 minutes, each group has to demonstrate their bridge.  You then test it for strength by adding pebbles one at a time, until the bridge collapses.  The team with the strongest bridge wins!

Building Kit

The Building Kit is a shoebox with a variety of building materials.  For example:

Make sure each group has the same amount of materials, just to keep things fair.

                Make sure you don't give the kids too many popsicle sticks...otherwise you'll need something like an 80 pound kid to break the bridges!
