Yesterday I created a game using recycled things. Maybe it’s a good idea for children to do it at home. I used lollipop sticks, a piece of wood that my dad was going to throw away and cups. I painted the wood and the sticks. You must have some marbles to slide them down on the stick and then you count the points to see who is the winner. Laura Mallia Gauci
