Keep It Going! Marble Run Challenges

This is a two day project. Each grade level starts off on day one building a marble run using grade-specific materials.

  • 4K: Cardboard Tubes
  • 5K: Playdough
  • 1st: Duplo Blocks
  • 2nd: LEGO Bricks
  • 3rd: Pegboards
  • 4th: K’Nex
  • 5th: KEVA Planks

The challenge sequence is as follows:

  • Build marble run (Day 1)
  • Record marble run (Day 1)
  • Record team in front of green screen (Day 1)
  • Create green screen video with DoInk App (Day 2)

You can view and/or download the challenge resources by clicking the arrow below.



At the conclusion of a challenge I always reflect on changes for “next time” we do this…

5K: no changes, keep doing playdough

1st: no changes, keep doing Duplos

2nd: no changes, keep doing LEGO bricks

3rd: use Keva Planks instead (NOT Pegboard)

4th: use Pegboard instead (NOT K’Nex)

5th: use K’Nex instead (NOT Keva Planks)
