Title of challenge: Recycling Music Challenge

Scenario:
A group of friends are stranded because their money has been stolen. They decide to earn it by busking using discarded packaging items to make instruments.

Task:
Get into teams of four. You need to make at least four musical instruments and play a designated tune (e.g. Twinkle, twinkle little star.)

Conditions:
There are no set materials, but you must not use real instruments. Each team member must play
one instrument, and the tune may be played for at least 30 seconds.

Judging:
Teams will be judged by the standard of music, the variety of instruments and audience reaction.

Videoed:
Entries will be videoed and put on this blogsite. Others may judge your performance differently.

Thanks to the BP challenge for this idea. See BP Challenge for their website.

Here’s another challenge for you to attempt. Can you design and make a container to carry water from one place to another using only 2 pieces of newspaper? Fold 2 pieces of newspaper into a water carrying device. You cannot use any other materials. Will your container look like a bucket? A bag? A cone?

We will have a water carrying competition at school on Friday 12 June. We will see who can carry the most water from 1 container to another container 10m away. You can keep carrying water until your container disintegrates. The winner will be the person with the most water in their bucket.

You must enter by enrolling on the comments.

Competitors are… Tiri, Geleta, Shaquille, Ethan, Joy, Lucy, Lesieli, Geleta and Joanna.
