Hi All,

We all are fighting Covid 19, by staying at home, Because of kids are not allowed to play with their friends or go out and play. Online gaming and other online activities have increased.

This is a quick build project and can help you to keep your kids away from the screen. This will improve decision making, motor skills, hand-eye coordination....

Hope you like it and make one

Step 1: What Do We Need?

Wooden Plank : Mine is 7" x 15" rectangle
Thick Cardboard
PVA glue or Fevicol (India)
Old plastic coins from carom or any other game
Rubber bands
one wooden skewer
Cutter
Paper tape

Step 2: Borders

To make a the borders, I cut 0.75" strips of the cardboard
Using PVA glue, stick the cardboard strips on the sides of the wooden plank
Remember to clean the plank and it's sides before you start
Let this dry for 30 minutes

Step 3: Center

The center piece has a rectangular slot
Glue the center piece as shown
The length of the slot is 1.8 times the diameter on the coins
2 coins should not be able to pass, side by side
Let the glue dry for 30 minutes

Step 4: Neat and Tidy

The cardboard did not look good, I covered it with paper tape
This will also increase some life

Step 5: Sling

For the sling, I have used rubber bands, any other elastic material will also work
From each ends, I cut one slit at distance of 1.5" on each side
Using a small skewers, tie the rubber band across as show on each side
Test the coins are able to move across
Adjust the height and tension of the rubber band, as needed

Step 6: Play On

Rules
- Each player has 5 coins at the start
- Both players have to sling all their pucks on the other side
- If the puck goes out, it lands back with the the player, who shot it out
- The first one to get rid of all pucks is the winner
Play this game with your friends and kids,
This game involves, fast decision making, faster flexes and improves hand to eye coordination
