We have finished another Think Tank! This one was all about Toys and Games. Activity #3 (pictured above) was to invent a new toy or game. Many of the students chose this one and found that it took an awfully long time, but they put so much detail into it! They made the game board, pieces, dice, etc.. Check out all the pictures below!

Nathan compared Teletubbies and video games. Jack L compared Beenie Babies and a yo-yo.

These students wrote about their favorite toy.

Hailey chose Scrabble. Alex chose Legos. Jack L. chose Webkinz. Mikayla chose Silly Putty. Nathan chose Beenie Babies. Cameron chose Legos.

The students in this picture wrote questions to ask the inventor of a specific toy or game.

Alex and Jack B. both worked on summarizing the book How a Crayon is made.

All of these students created an advertisement. Some chose to make it for the game or toy they invented and some made it for an existing game or toy.

This activity was an extra called Toys R Old. Kids had to take old toys and find a way to recycle them so they can be used once more.

Eli made a toy helicopter into a toy that could carry the trash out of the house.
