Bicicletta Side Shows for the Twilight Market


In Project Time over the past month or so, lots of children have chosen to create a Side Show for the Twilight Market.

Pinball Machine

“You have to try and get the marble to hit the other marble that’s on the button.
They can touch the marble if it’s in the middle of nowhere and put it where it would have gone.”

“The 1/2/3s have a pinball machine and that’s where we got the idea from.”


“We needed two marbles, one button, rubber bands, nails, wood, paint and some glue to stick the button on.”

“It will cost 50 cents.”  (since then we have talked about the Side Show pass so children know they don’t collect money from individuals)

Pin the tail on the horse

“You have to pin the tail on the horse where it’s supposed to go with a blindfold on your eyes. If you put it in the wrong spot, you get no points. If you put it in the right spot you get one point. If you keep playing and you get more points, you get different prizes. “

“I got the idea from another child’s birthday party.”

There are other side shows that some Bicicletta Preps are organising, too.
