Magnetic
fishing
YOU WILL NEED
→ bar magnet or
horseshoe magnet
→ plastic chips
→ tape
→ string
→ wooden cooking spoon
→ colored felt-tip pens
→ tall box
→ paper
→ glue stick
→ permanent marker
HERE'S HOW
1. Decorate the box with sheets of paper
with pictures of fish drawn on them.
2. Tape the bar magnet to the string and tie
the other end of the string to the end of
the cooking spoon.
3. Spread the plastic chips across the
bottom of the box.
4. Now you can start your fishing
competition. Taking turns, each player
lowers the magnet into the box (without
looking into it, of course), and fishes out
one or more chips.
The winner is the one who catches the
most chips. Or, you could use the
permanent marker to write different
point totals on each of the chips, and the
angler with the highest point total wins.
