- Divide the group into teams of 3-4 (Game can be done individually as well if needed – either due to group size or if meeting virtually)
- Give each team about 20 sticks of spaghetti, one marshmallow, one yard/foot of tape, and one yard/foot of yarn (can be changed).
- Allow teams 10-15 minutes to try to build a tower as tall as they can to support the marshmallow.
