Based on an old TV show, this activity will get the girls working together in teams/Patrols. It will also test out their logic and thinking.
Materials: 6 garden canes, approx 1m long; Elastic bands; 1 yoghurt pot; string; 1 tennis ball; four straws
Give the girls 30 minutes to make a firing machine that will propel the tennis ball through a hoop. They can use all or some of the materials but must not use materials that they are not given.
