Sport Catapult
Let the game begin
What you will need:
• Cardoard tube
• Cardboard ring
• Thick cardboard
1
• Plastic bottle cap
• Ice-lolly stick
• Clothes peg
Black felt-tip
White crayon
Kitchen towel
Tape roll
Take the cardboard tube and cut it lengthways – ask a grownup to help you with all the cutting – so you can roll it up. Tape
it so it’s nice and tight.
Attach the sticky tape ring to the top. Use the tape to cover
the hole at the top of the stand.
Take the base of the cardboard, leave a space behind the
stand, and attach the tube onto it. Make sure you tape it well
– there you have your court!

To make the launcher, attach the bottle cap to one end of the
lolly stick. Then glue the lolly stick to the top of a peg.
Then glue the launcher onto the cardboard base and leave to dry.
If you can’t get hold of a wooden clothes peg, you can always
use a plastic one, but instead of glue you will need to use
strips of paper and Art Attack paste - a mix of half glue and
half water - to stick it on.

Cover the cap with newspaper and Art Attack paste to make
sure it remains strong and doesn’t come undone when you
start to play.
Take the hoop you created earlier and apply some Art Attack
paste. Make sure you cover the cardboard tube and all the
joins as well. Finally, to make the ball, take a sheet of kitchen
towel and add some glue. Then roll it up into a ball.

Paint the basketball hoop silver and the ball orange, so it’s
nice and bright. Use a black felt-tip, highlight the lines of the
net.
With a white crayon, draw the court onto the base. Take a
sticky tape roll and draw halfway around it in front of the
basket. Do this at the end of the court too. Then draw two
lines that go from the semi-circle in front of the basket to
the upper corners of the court. To finish, draw a straight line
around the edge of the court.
Now all you have to do is position the launcher, aim and …fire!
