**Challenge: Design Your Own Mario Power-Up Station!**
Your mission is to create a special power-up station that gives players amazing abilities in obstacle courses. Work with your partner to build something awesome!
**Step 1: Dream Up Your Power-Up (5 minutes)**
Talk with your partner about cool power-ups. Think about:
- What special ability will it give? (Super speed? High jumps? Protection?)
- How will it help players get through obstacles?
- What should it look like so players know what it does?
**Step 2: Draw Your Design (10 minutes)**
Sketch your power-up station on paper. Show:
- What the station looks like
- Where players touch or interact with it
- Labels explaining how it works
- Notes about what happens when someone uses it
**Step 3: Build Your Station (20 minutes)**
Use your cardboard box as the base and decorate it with construction paper, markers, and other materials. Make sure:
- The colors and decorations match your power-up's ability
- Players can easily see what the power-up does
- It looks exciting and fun to use
**Step 4: Create Instructions (5 minutes)**
Make a clear instruction card that shows:
- Your power-up's name
- A simple drawing
- What special ability it gives in one sentence
- How long the power lasts
**The Test:**
Can another student look at your power-up station and immediately understand what special ability they'll get? If yes, you've succeeded! If not, add clearer decorations or better instructions.
Get ready to see all the creative power-ups come to life in our obstacle courses!
