Supplies
* Paper
* Paper airplane book (s) (can get from library)
* Scotch Tape
* Some models require paper clips or pennies for added weight
* Chalk (or paper, pen, and duct tape)
Set-up
1) Designate a starting place, and several targets on the ground. Mark each target as being worth a different amount of points, allowing for the smaller targets and furthest targets to be worth the most.
How to Play
1) Allow group to look through the books and choose their favorite design
2) Give everyone the supplies, and allow them to design their plane.
3) After several minutes (depending on this size of the group and # of books), have participants split into 3 or four teams.
4) Have teams take turns (Person 1 from team A, then person one from team B, etc), throwing their planes at the targets. Unless you know of someone in the group with a medical inability to throw well, each participant should throw his/her own plane.
5) Points should be added up for each team.
Goal
Whichever team scores the most points, wins.
Alternative
Teams aren't necessary, but this will keep larger groups focused on more than only their own part, and can be used to encourage team building.
