So i'm trying to think of fun activities for kids using common stationary.

so for e.g., we have a tower game, where you have to build the tallest tower using nothing but straws.

stuff like that.

any ideas?

Umm, DerwenArtos12 and I have developed a game called pencil dropping. You put the pencil on the table and then you bet which way the pencil will fall. There are the Bettors, the Sticker, and the Waver.

Bettors=People who bet on the pencil's direction. Can be up to four. Can only bet that the pencil will drop in their direction.

Sticker=Person who puts the pencil on the table.

Waver=Person who calls the direction. All players sign a waiver not to dispute the decision of the Waver.



And that people, is a game that comes from the minds of two horribly bored teenagers in the middle of nowhere.
