**Your Mission: Design Your First Super Mario Level!**
Today you're going to become a Super Mario game designer! You'll plan, build, and test your very own obstacle course that Mario could play through.
**Step 1: Plan Your Level**
- Draw your obstacle course idea on paper
- Include at least 3 different challenges:
* Something to JUMP over (like blocks or cones)
* Something to CRAWL under (like hula hoops or boxes)
* Something to BALANCE through (like a straight line or narrow path)
- Make it look fun but not too scary!
**Step 2: Team Up and Build**
- Work with a partner to combine your best ideas
- Use the materials to build your real obstacle course
- Make sure everything is safe - test it yourself first!
- Remember: Mario needs to be able to actually get through your level
**Step 3: Test Your Level**
- Take turns being "Mario" and going through other teams' courses
- Watch others play through your level
- Cheer for your classmates as they complete the challenges!
**The Test: Does Your Level Work?**
✓ Can someone safely jump, crawl, and balance through your course?
✓ Is it fun and exciting to play?
✓ Did you work well with your teammate?
✓ Can you explain your level to other players?
