Does This Game Stop You from Being Bored?

Part of the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology series, this resource asks children to design and make a toy or game for a bed-ridden patient of approximately nine years of age.

Many pupils will have experienced the tedium of being confined to bed when recovering from a minor illness and are likely to have considerable sympathy and empathy with someone in a similar position. The game they have to produce must be interesting, amusing, engaging and be able to be played on a bed tray.
