Faulty Towers

What's there to do on a soggy Tuesday afternoon? Dustin and Emmett had it in mind to inject a little Keva chaos! We challenged those able and willing to some heats of compelling competition. It all started with who could build the tallest tower in five minutes. Towers tumbled and were rebuilt within the five minutes. We repeated the heat to see if the children learned anything from the first round. The excitement (and number of participants) only grew as we introduced rounds with "best house in five minutes" and "strongest tower in five minutes." After this, Emmett injected further Keva chaos by introducing the "Revenge Block", one block per team that could be thrown at an opponent's tower at any time during the heat. Most teams chose to use their Revenge Block near the end of the heat, aimed at the leading competition. We doubled the time to ten minutes to see what chaos would ensue. Winners of each heat were rewarded with Timbits, courtesy of Cole V's birthday. After the competitions were complete, Emmett and Dustin conceived of future challenges for our enthusiastic builders. Stay tuned for further Keva chaos...

Cheers,
Dustin

One of the candidates for tallest tower.

Attempting to build the strongest tower.
Devastating!
