Build a Cardboard Tower

அட்டை கட்டிடம்

කාඩ්බෝඩ් ගොඩනැගිල්ල

Assemble your apartments into your tall cardboard tower.

We love larger than life projects - a subtly empowering gesture, that allow our students to believe they really can do anything. By suggesting a project that once seems impossible, later when accomplished, is truly something to take pride in. It takes patience. It will take many children, present countless opportunities for leadership and collaboration, as well as determination to succeed. I assure you that once the tower is being assembled, there’s no turning back. This can also keep children (and adults) occupied for hours, if not days!

Tip: To encourage students to design their tower, discuss characteristics of skyscrapers and look for some picture examples.
