Our daily "learning Cafe" studyhall likes to move. Shuffleboard is narrow enough to fit in our library hallway, and unfamiliar enough to require cooperation in calculating the layout of the field and acceptance of rule variations. Students had to research the court and rules online before measuring the distances for triangles and points areas. *NOTE: There is a big differnce between table and floor shuffleboard. Students then used gaffer's tape in red and yellow to plot the game space. We experimented with floor hockey pucks and tennis balls, observing the friction and momentum of each. We struggled with making sticks because cardboard wasn't rigid enough to push the pucks far enough to score, and the tennis balls wouldn't travel in a straight line. Students resorted to modifying rules for play that look more like bowling, and settled on tennis balls as the prefered game pieces.
