Caine's Arcade Global Day of Play 6 October 2012

        
When I read about this event, I am so sure my children would love to be part of it. They love boxes. In fact, I think all children love boxes, if only their parents allow them to play with it.  I showed her the video above and explained how it works, build your games out of box, group together with other kids from CLIC (Cooperative Learning Initiative Centre, read here) , invite people to play and the fund goes to Imagination Foundation. Without much hesitation, they said "YEAH".

The walking ticketing machine. :)

In a flash, she thought up a game and set to work. 

Her initial idea was 10cent per game and RM1 for a "fun card" that entitles to unlimited play.

The customer have to insert the money into the box and a ticket would be issued. (check the video).

As I am not sure how exactly the payment system work at CLIC, I told her to "prepare for changes and see how to adapt to it. Life is full of changes"  

At CLIC, they have a standardized payment of RM1 = 2 tokens. 

After discussing with my child, she adjusted her ticket booth to 1 token = 1 game, 2 token for a fun card.

I thought the inserting of token and waiting for the ticket to be slotted out of the box idea is slow. It turned out to be fun for the children-customers. They love looking at the ticket being slotted out!

Measure your height here. 

She said " she doesn't want to make any child cry" and so, her height measurement started from 0 which also means everyone get to play. 

                                               

The height measurement corresponds with the measurement on the floor. The customer has to stand where his/her height is.

Customer is given 5 balls. Each successful throw will get to choose a sticker.

The game attracted a crowd. By 12pm, she was exhausted.

The little toddler was one of the loyal customer. :) She was waiting for her stickers.

The busy arcade.
