Recycling for Earth Day Project



We're saving all sorts of bottle tops and other items to use in our Earth Day project to design and make a playable/artistic backgammon set all from recycled materials.

Here are some guidelines for the project:

---categories are 1. "I made it all by myself" and 2. "this was a family project."

---it must be playable and, if possible, close up just like real backgammon games

---these are games to be treasured for ever or used for this project and then recycled

---work from a plan which might include: design concept, what are the materials needed, color scheme, theme (if any)

---in the past, we've had creative, playable sets from pizza boxes and other packaging (shoe, cereal etc)

---even the dice have been made from recyclable materials.

Backgammon sets are to be finished and brought to school on (please not before) Earth Day Monday April 23rd.

More reminders later.
