HOW TO PLAY
1
Give each team a cardboard loom, a bundle of colored strips, and a reference card showing a striped pattern to copy.
2
Explain that teams must weave the colored strips over and under a set of base strips already fixed to the loom, following the color order on the reference card exactly.
3
Set a timer and have teams race to complete as much of the pattern as accurately as possible before time runs out.
4
When time is called, compare each team's weaving to the reference card, awarding points for correct color placement, tight rows, and neat edges.
5
The team with the highest accuracy score, or the first team to finish a fully accurate pattern, is declared the winner.
