Design a simple pinball-style game using cardboard ramps, obstacles, and marble pathways. You can create scoring zones, bumpers from toilet paper rolls, and even multiple levels. The engineering challenge of getting the marble physics right is half the fun, and kids especially love testing and improving the design.
