Save the Burning Building

We have designed our own game: Save the Burning Building

Our first step was to PLAN:

 

 

 

Then we GATHERED the things for our game and we MADE it:

 

 

Then we tried our game out:

 

 

We then wrote instructions on how to play our game:

 

 1: Each player rolls the dice and moves the fire truck along the board.

 2: When you land on a ladder you have to go up it.

 3: When you land on a pole you have to go down.

 4: The first person to reach the burning building wins the game.

 

 

Our next step was to put on our green thinking hat and MODIFY our game.

 

These are our ideas:

 

Make the board colourful.

Put a longer pole in.

Put a longer ladder in.

Make some more poles so the game is harder.

 

We then put our red thinking hat on to EVALUATE our game.

 

Here is what we thought:

 

We liked our game because you go down the poles.

We liked our game because we liked rolling the dice and counting.

We liked our game because we climbed the ladders and could win the game. 

We thought the game was fun and easy.

We liked rolling the dice and counting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Least to Most Important Invention

We had to sort 4 inventions from the most to least important on a continuum. We had to justify our opinions.

 

Snakes and Ladders

Last week Room 7 played Snakes and Ladders. We decided that we wanted to adapt the game to make it better - Lets be inventors! We put on our green hat and thought of ways to change Snakes and Ladders.

Step 1: Plan - Here are our ideas

 

 



Rescue Helicopter

Recently our Student Council decided to donate $100 to the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter! As you can see they really appreciated our support!

Daffodil Day

Wow! Today was Daffodil Day. Look at all our bright yellow costumes!

Games Day

On Thursday we played lots of games in the hall. We worked in small groups to play the games. After each game we used the yellow, black and green Thinking Hats to talk about what we liked and didn't like about the games and how we could adapt the game to make it better. We had a fun time playing the games.
