Tallest Tower
Princess Peach wants a new castle, since Mario destroyed the tower
defeating Bowser. You are all on Mario’s architectural team. The team
that builds the tallest tower wins the contract. You must design the
castle following the rules listed below:
• Each group has 5 minutes to “design” their structure, but cannot
touch the paper or tape during this time.
• Each team has 10 minutes for construction of their tower.
• Team with the tallest tower wins the contract for the new castle.
EWWWWWW!
FEELINGS!!!
- What went well?
- Was it harder to work
in a group of people
with the same
strengths? Easier?
Why?
- Did you notice a
difference between
the planning and
executing stages?
Mario and Princess Peach would like to build a Summer Castle in Australia. They
would still like the tallest castle, but they want it to be completely different from
what they have back home. Split into your new groups and build a completely
different castle. You will get 5 minutes to plan, and 10 minutes to design; same rules
apply as before.
