The Endless Play Generator

What game could you play with a sand timer, a marble and a die?

What would you do with these three simple things?
- Time races
- Play games of chance
- Roll the die to determine how many attempts you get to flick the marble at the target
Time how long it takes you to get to the top of the hill and back
Pretend the marble is the hidden treasure
Try to roll a six before the timer runs out.
Try to roll a '4' and a '2' consecutively. That's the code for the secret door.
Not a toy in sight but enough fun for all four children, all day long.
What combination of objects could you offer your child today? Three simple things that go together in interesting ways?A wooden spoon, some twine and a cork
A ball, a sock and a ladle
Paper clips, a tape measure and a coat hanger
Some fabric, a hat and a bulldog clip
Anything will do. Odd combinations spark novel ideas. See what you can come up with.
