In our class, we use the plastic caps off bottles and build all kinds of stuff. My favorite is to stack the caps and make a tall wall. I like to use the caps to make different patterns with the different colored caps. --Savon Green, pre-kindergarten Courthouse Road Elementary School, Ms. Linthicum's class Here's a new junkyard sport, "Junky Horseshoes." You need the following old items: used tinfoil, paper towel tubes, and sand. First, you make a pile of sand; second, you stick the paper towel tubes together and put them in the middle of the sand pile. For the horseshoes, you twist the tinfoil into a U-shaped figure and try to ring it around the post. Each time you ring the tube you receive two points! When you get 20 points, you win! --Veronica Talbert, third grade Mary Walter Elementary School, Ms. Baker's class My junkyard sports would be to build a castle using lots of big boxes. It would be so much fun and I would share it with my friends. We could pretend to live in it. --Taylesiah Norbrey, pre-kindergarten Courthouse Road Elementary School, Ms. Linthicum's class The game I made is Trash Basketball. You take a paper, crumble it up, and throw it in the trash. If you make it from three feet away, you get three points. If you make a two-foot shot, you get two points. And if you miss a shot, you are out. --Brandon Davis, third grade Moncure Elementary School, Ms. Morris' class We all know the crumble-the-paper-and-shoot-for-the-trash game. But what about scraps? You can use scraps to write notes on or play a game of memory--a fun game and a good review. --Dianne Funes, sixth grade Ni River Middle School, Ms. Ralph's class My junkyard sports would be to make tunnels to run through using old big boxes. You could run like crazy from one box to another box and maybe try to catch your friends. It would be fun. --Hannah Dahmen, pre-kindergarten Courthouse Road Elementary School, Ms. Linthicum's class
I am the author of a book called Junkyard Sports. I'd like to know if these excellent ideas were in response to my book and if it would be all right for me to share them with my readers
