It’s Electric!
STEM Circuit Challenge
Challenge:
Parker Brothers is looking for engineers to build their newest board
game, one that runs on electricity! Can you build an electricity
review game using your knowledge of circuits. Good Luck! ☺
Materials for each group:
Cardstock (this will serve as your game board)
Aluminum foil (1 ft. x 1 ft. sheet)
Scissors
Hand held hole punch
Masking tape
Insulated wire
Battery (6V is best)
Light source (Christmas lights)
Guidelines:
• Your game must include at least 5 electricity review questions &
answers.
• Your game must have a creative title.
• Your game must work using electrical circuits. This means that in
order to play your game, players must use the battery &
conductive wires.
• Before submitting your final project, ensure that your game
works!
• Include game instructions on the back of your game board.
• Suggestion: Have another group play your game so that you are
certain that all components of your game are working.
