Team stick sculpture
One stick each, one big creation. Take turns adding sticks to a shared sculpture, then give it a name.

A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 3 min to gather · 10 min to build · 2 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A pile of sticks of different sizes
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Choose a spot on the ground for your sculpture.
The first person places one stick.
- Together
Take turns adding one stick at a time, anywhere you like.
Keep going until the pile is gone.
Stand back. What does it look like? Give it a name.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
