Remember the old game called "Pick-up-Sticks"? I may have just revealed my age with that, but it was a popular game when I was a kid. You should have plenty to make up several game sets & have enough left over for other stuff.How about a nutrition unit and they have to come up with "skewer-able" meal that's healthy, etc? They can work in groups & actually prepare a meal for parents, another class, or some brave teachers.
What about using them as unique units of measure. How many skewers long/wide is the classroom, the gym, the cafeteria? Of course, the ones used on the floor will be the ones you | |
paint later.Lay many skewers flat, side by side. Then weave colorful yarns, alternating over & under, through them. It makes a beautiful design, especially when lots of bright colors are used. I saw somthing like this done at a school & it was really neat! Check with your art teacher (if you have one). She/he may have some more ideas or uses for them artistically. You can always "share the wealth" with your fellow teachers. Someone may have a brilliant idea & be looking for 1000 skewers right now!
