1. Invent a new toy, game, or sport. (do all)

  • How can your invention be different from what kids have now?
  • What elements would make it appealing?
  • What would you enjoy doing?

    Decide on a plan.
    Questions to ask yourself:
  • What materials will I need?
  • How can I make it work?
  • How much time will I need?

    Invent it.
  • Put together a prototype.
  • If it’s a game or sport, write clear rules for it.

    2. Try out the new game, toy, or sport. (do both)
