MATERIALS
- Lightweight poles or pool noodles
- A large sheet or tarp
- String or clips to fasten it
HOW TO PLAY
1
Split into teams and give each team an identical set of poles, a sheet, and fasteners.
2
Explain that the goal is to build a simple freestanding dome frame and drape the sheet over it, echoing how a ger (yurt) goes up.
3
On "go," teams race to lash the poles into a stable frame that can stand on its own.
4
Once the frame stands unsupported, drape the sheet over it and secure the edges.
5
The first team with a fully covered, self-standing structure calls out and wins.
6
Judges may disqualify any structure that needs a person to hold it up when time is called.
