My Carboard Arcade

Hi Have been working on an Arcade, it is made out of cardboard. I think it's really cool. I made it with my sister, she help me. 

We called it The Cardboard Arcade. 


When ever you win a game, you go to the prizes and spin a wheel, Which will pick a prize for you. You need one ticket to play a game.

                                                                                    



The first one that I made was a bowling alley. How I made it: I got cardboard that was flat and made some cardboard ramps so the ball wouldn't fall out. I put a box at the end so when the ball goes in the box it makes it go back to the start. It's hard to explain, the skittles are made out of plastic toy bottles that are small. Here is a photo.


The next game that I made is air hockey. We got a table and cut out some carboard walls and stick it to the table and I made the air hockey sticks out of carboard and toiled paper rolls. We used a bottle cap for the ball. 


    
Pop the balloon game wasn't made out of cardboard but it used balloons and darts. How we made it is that we got a board  and balloons that we blew up. We didn't have normal balloons so we used water balloons. We had to be carful when we blew them up. We didn't have darts as well but we made some water sticks and taped sharp pins to the end. So when you try and throw it to the balloons and if you hit one  it pops and you get a prize. You have three shots. 



This one is a claw machine it took a long time to make. But we are very proud of it, it works very well. We made it  with string, cardboard and magnets. We get a cardboard box and make a platform inside for the toys, we also cut a hole in the corner so when win a the teddies/toys you can drop it into the compartment to get. We used string around the picker/claw and put magnets on it and the teddies.  The Claw has the strongest magnet so it can pick the teddies. 


This one is a Ring Toss the rings are also swimming toys. To make it we got a box and stick toilet paper rolls for the targets. You then throw the rings and then try get them over the toilet paper rolls. 


This one is Hammer The Turtle. This one was easy to create. We have a toy turtle and there is shapes on it that you push. We made the hammer out of cups and a toy sword. We cello taped the cups together with the sword in-between. We added a timer too. To play: You start the timer, pick up the hammer and try to hit all the shapes under two seconds.  If you get it under 2 seconds you get a prize. 


 This is a Fishing Game. We got ping pong balls and but magnets on them. Wrote on the ping pong balls,  "win" and "lose". If you you get one that says "win" you get a prize. I made the fishing rod out of a bamboo stick, string with a magnet at the end. The Spinning Reel is made out of wire, cardboard and a coat hanger hock. 

This is a photo of the Arcade center.


We hope to invite people over to try our Arcade games when Lockdown is finish.

  1. Kia ora Danica. Wow, this is amazing! Was this based on Caine's arcade? I love that video. I'd love to play your air hockey and claw machine games. I like how you problem solved, for example when you didn't have any darts. I think you did a good job of explaining the games and videos are a great way to show people how things work. What was your favourite game?

  4. Kia ora Danica. You have been creating a great set of fun and exciting games. The claw is probably my favorite maybe just because of the name. I have never managed to get anything with a claw game when I have played. What are you going to next with your arcade? Na Dave Winter from Manaiaklani
