My Cardboard Arcade Creation

This is my cardboard arcade that I made in design class. It is called Skee Ball, a game where you try to throw the ball into the holes and get a high score. If the hole is higher, you will get more points.  There is a hole in the front of the structure and when you throw the ball into one of the holes at the top, it will roll down the structure and you can pick it up again in the hole at the front.

My biggest obstacle was making the holes for the balls to throw in. We cannot cut out a perfect hole with a knife, so we used a very special tool to cut, and it was hard.

Skills that I learned were how to use a glue gun safely, how to organize my work, and how to cut with a knife.

Overall, I think this product was successful because the 4th graders loved it and most of them aimed for a second try.
