16. HELICOPTER GAME 1) Let Ss make their own Roto – Copter. Use a marker or a piece of chalk to draw a 1-foot circle on a piece of paper. Put a cereal bowl in the middle of the circle. The circle is the target area and the bowl is the bull’s eye. 2) Ask your Ss to take turns standing on a chair at the edge of the circle to drop their Roto – Copters. 3) You can decide the points given if a copter gets inside the circle, or if lands inside the cereal bowl. 4) You can make up any rules you want.

28. A hovercraft is a water craft that uses air power to propel forward and skim across the water. Large fans blow air down beneath the craft which causes it to hover over the water it's covering. The first recorded design of a hovercraft was in 1716 by a Swedish designer named Emanuel Swedenborg. The first commercial hovercraft carrying passengers was operational in 1962 in Whales and by 1968 the first car-carrying hovercraft was developed to transport vehicles across the English Channel. It could hold up to 30 vehicles and 254 people.
