Get set up
Gather the required materials: Sticky notes. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Give each player the same pad or number of notes.
- Start the timer.
- Fold or position notes to create a freestanding structure.
- No other supports are allowed.
- Measure the tallest stable structure.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Instead, count how many notes can be stuck to one designated surface in a minute.
Make it a great round
Demonstrate one legal attempt before starting the timer and keep identical materials for each player.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
