Q-Tip Shoot Out

4 way q-tip shootout into a swinging goal! They took a 5 gallon bucket, and cut holes in it 4 four teams, and the teams had to shoot q-tips into their hole as the bucket spun and moved up and down. (more info below)

Here is how to make the goal:

Step 1 – Cut a 5″ hole in the side of the bucket. I used a razor blade, but a power sawzall might work better.

Step 2 – Use the piece you cut out to trace the other 3 holes on the goal. Start on the opposite side of the first hole, so you can line it up on the exact opposite side. Then cut the other ones on each side. 

Step 3 – Using plastic board, or poster board, cut two pieces to fit inside the bucket. They should be as close to the height and width of the inside of the bucket as possible. Then, cut slits that go half way through to the middle of the board. On one board, start at the bottom. On the other, start at the top.

Step 4 – Slide the two slits together, so it looks like this. 

Step 5 – Place the boards in to divide the bucket in to 4 separate compartments. Then use some tape to make sure no q-tips can slip under or around the dividers. 

Step 6 – Spray paint the different sections so each team knows where it’s goal is.

Step 7 – Hang the bucket from the roof. We used string that ran through a couple eye loops, and over to the stage, so we could raise and lower the bucket like a piñata.

Just make sure you use a thick enough string, or else it will break like this…
