First things first: your answer is not wrong because it looks different. These are just ideas from other kids — yours can be completely different and just as good.
A game from the lab — thing: a sock
Sparky's five: a puppet · keeping your foot warm · a dust cloth · storing marbles · a Christmas stocking.
| Kid's idea | Verdict |
|---|---|
| a hand puppet | 🤖 robot point — Sparky had it |
| a snowball launcher (stuff it with snow, swing it) | ⭐⭐⭐ your point |
| a sleeping bag for a hamster | ⭐⭐ your point |
| a sock telephone between two rooms | ⭐⭐⭐ your point |
| a flag for a tiny castle | ⭐⭐ your point |
| socks as bookmarks with a pocket for a secret note | ⭐⭐⭐ your point |
Final score: kid 5 — robot 1. 🎉
What makes you win
The robot knows what most people think. You win with the tricks: change the size (a sleeping bag for a hamster), change who uses it (a castle flag) and change what it does (a launcher, a telephone). Your first idea was a robot point — that is exactly the idea curve from the lesson.
