Box of Whackiness

This is an idea I came across on Twitter. It was the idea of @buntyhoven's daughter and she kindly allowed me to share it. The premise is, you create a box of wholesome, no-props-required dares for use at a sleepover or party.

It does need a bit of prep. Write out your own dares (use the list above or think of your own) and let the children have a turn each so they get the idea. My group of Y5 and 6s absolutely loved this part.

Unless you have a supply of small boxes already made, the children will need to build their own. Google 'cuboid net' and then print the net onto a card for each student. There's a good net here: cuboid net. Provide the children with felt tips and perhaps sticky shapes to jazz up the sides of the box. They'll need scissors and glue to assemble their boxes too.

When they've finished, let them take turns picking dares out of each other's boxes.

I think this session could have lasted for two hours rather than the single one we had, but next week we have a visitor coming...
