Airplanes and hangers

Bored?
Is your day going down the drain?
No $$ to buy a new game?

Get a job, or create a game that costs nothing.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Ask mommy dearest for 4 wire clothes hangers.

  • Stretch the hangers into a diamond shape, like in the picture below.

    Be careful... Ask an adult to do this or, if you're strong enough, lay the hanger on the floor, put one foot over the hook, and pull the other end until you get the shape you want.

  • Link the hangers together, then ask an adult to tack the top one to a doorway. They will be your fighter pilot targets.

Leafy can show you how to make an airplane. All you need is a piece of paper.

How to score:

1 point for the bottom hanger

2 points for the next hanger

3 points for the third hanger

4 points for the top hanger

You get an extra point if the hanger does not move when the plane goes through.
