On Friday, October 31, the fifth graders at G.S.B. turned the cafeteria into a full-blown cardboard arcade! Families, teachers, and fourth graders came to play and cheer on the creative game makers.
More than 25 amazing arcade games filled the room — everything from claw machines and foosball tables to skee-ball, marble runs, ping-pong, and even whack-a-mole! The fifth graders dreamed them up, built them from cardboard, wood, wire, and glue, and made sure every game worked before the big day.
This project started six weeks ago after the students watched the inspiring documentary “Caine’s Arcade”. They learned how to design, test, and improve their games just like real engineers.
During the arcade, players won fun prizes like stickers, erasers, pencils, snacks, and bookmarks. The energy was off the charts as fourth graders visited the different game, trying to play them all and find their favorites!
This new G.S.B. tradition started just last year, and it’s already a school hit. The fourth graders left buzzing with ideas — they can’t wait to make their designs as fifth graders in 2026!
