Noah's Ark Fling

 Summer is the perfect time to plan new stuff for Sparks!  This fall I am going to try having a set of games per team that I will rotate each week so all the kids will get to play them once a month or so.  I am hoping to have 3-4 games per team so I am on the lookout for fun new games!  I had an idea for a couple that I couldn't find being made commercially so I made my own.

Noah's Ark Fling: a six player game where each kid has a bowl of 12 little animals that they are trying to catapult into the "ark" at the same time.  First one to get all their animals (or just a set of 2 depending on the ability level of the team) into the ark wins!  You could make a cardboard ark or use a toy, but I wanted mine to store pretty flat so I modified one of those fabric collapsible storage bins into an ark.  I made the catapults out of popsicle sticks using this pin as instructions.







Hopefully the pictures help somewhat or inspire you to create your own game!
