The Bucket Game |

| THE BUCKET GAME� Sponsored by� www.discounteddecor.com � In today's conservation-conscious culture, anything we can do to reuse or recycle items in lieu of throwing them away is considered a valuable practice; thus, we bring you "The Bucket Game."� It's a great way to entertain the kids while helping them develop creative, color, and counting skills - all while using "stuff" we already have.� Briefly, you (kids included, of course) are going to actually make the game in order to play the game.� The idea is for everyone to make their own bucket to fill with goodies collected on a path taken in amounts determined by a roll of a die.� (Phew.)� This project can be as involved or as simple as you wish to make it; for instance, each step can be a creative effort - or not.� But let's get started so that it can all make sense. The first step is to create the bucket.� Small yogurt containers make a great bucket.� Take a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the entire cup inside and out and do just that.� Next, take a strip of aluminum foil and roll it in a cylindrical fashion to make the handle.� Glue it to either side of the rim of the bucket.� If you have air duct connector tape to use instead of glue, that's a great alternative because it looks like aluminum foil and blends right in!�� Next, decorate.��� Now we get to the fun part.� The next step is to make the game board itself, which will be the path.� A good, sturdy piece of card stock or cardboard is a great medium to use for this, but plain paper will do just fine.� Just make a winding path of connecting squares at least 1 x 1" and then feel free to add any decorations to the game board outside of the squares.� If time is short, you can use a checkerboard or even an old calender page for the game board - the sky's the limit.�� Lastly, pick a theme and make the game pieces.� In this case, we'll use drops of water for our bucket.� Just cut small pieces of squares to fit inside those on the game board and draw any item you choose on each piece.� Be sure to make enough for each square and use the same item for each piece, but vary the amount per square.� For instance, the squares should have 1, 2, or even 3 drops of water on each one.� Again, you can use the squares on an old calender or cut them from old birthday or holiday cards…� Be sure to make a square for each child with their name on it as well so they can mark their place on the board.� Again, each square on the board should have a game piece.� � A shortcut can be taken here as well if necessary.� You can use items such as pebbles from the yard, candy, or whatever you have lying around. That's all there is to it.� Now it's time to play.� Each child in turn should roll a single die and move that many squares, replacing the game piece with his or her name piece and placing the game piece in his or her bucket.� The winner is determined as follows:� The game is over whenever someone reaches the final square either by the exact amount needed on the die or by rolling more than what is needed.� For instance, if 3 is needed to land on the final square, but a 4 is rolled, that is more than what is needed, so the child will stop at 3 and the game is over.� Each child should count the total number of drops in their bucket.� Whoever has the most drops wins.� Have fun with this.� The game board and pieces can be specialized to a holiday or birthday party, a favorite pet or sport or cartoon, whatever.� It's a great way to encourage creativity, learning, and a great way to spend time together.� And the best part - it's all recyclable!� Enjoy!
