Mini Golf with Recycled Materials
This lesson plan, recommended for grades 6 and up, is closely aligned with the ideals of "Odyssey of the Mind" where students are given a task and as a team they create and problem solve. Beyond the description of the project, the teacher's role is to only facilitate and empathize, successes and failures are part of the process. The photos below are from Beacon Height's 2013 6th grade Mini-Golf project. On the last week of school students played a round of 12 holes of mini-golf created out of recycled materials by 6 teams of students from each 6th grade class. It was a fun way to end their time in elementary school.
The Evaluation for each hole based on a criteria of Creativity (How cool was the idea?), Craftsmanship (How well did it hold together?), and Functionality (Could you actually play it and score your strokes?)
