Hooked!

Watch our DIY Hooked! instructional video online.

Level: Intermediate

Intermediate projects can typically be completed with 1-3 tools. Assembly can be completed in 45 - 75 minutes, and we recommend 60 - 90 minutes for planning and personalization. This project is appropriate for students in grades 3 and above.

Objective: Construct DIY Hooked!

Students will use basic carpentry skills to build their very own DIY Hooked! game. Students will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity by designing and decorating their own game. After assembly and decoration, students will also get to participate in games where they aim to hook their rings onto screw hooks and score the most points. Instructors can then reinforce learning by asking questions to prompt further thinking and engagement.

• What factors might affect how easily the ring lands on the hook? (Think about the length of string, angle, weight of the ring, etc.)

• What is the best strategy that you used to get the ring onto the hook?
