Cardboard Challenge
We are excited to invite the students of Oak Ridge School to participate in our 7C’s Cardboard Challenge, part of the Imagination Foundation’s Annual Global Cardboard Challenge, a worldwide celebration of child creativity inspired by the short film, “Caine’s Arcade.”
This year’s Global Cardboard Challenge will engage over 2 million kids all over the world in creative play. Kids will design and build games and other creations from cardboard, recycled materials, and their imaginations. Then communities will come together in a Global Day of Play, celebrating creativity and imaginations of kids everywhere.
At home, students can let their imagination fly and build a cardboard creation to bring to the “Day of Play.” Students can use any recyclable materials to build their creations. Join us at Oak Ridge School Friday, October 4th from 4:30-5:30 pm. We will set up our cardboard games and play outside in the front of the school. Bring your cardboard creations and be ready to play!
