I’m a big fan of “Rocket Golf.” After the children have made their rockets (foam ideally), they should plan out a ‘golf’ hole, with a tee, a fairway and a hole for the rocket to aim at. Children can compete for the lowest score over the hole by firing their rocket, running to where it landed, then firing again until it reaches the hole, which can be a bucket or hula hoop.
Different groups might survey the school grounds and set their holes up to be different pars based on different lengths, or the use of trees as obstacles.
