Use a ruler for the top to make the plane longer. This is a good time to cut your piece to make it longer, or you can use a pen and marker to make a line through the paper plane.
You may also use a flat, sharp-edged pen or a pen cutter to make small changes to the design. You can also use the knife-like blade in the scissors tool to cut the design into pieces. For two-side paper airplane patterns, mark out the two ends of each paper plane with pencil and mark the points with a knife. To form the bottom, use the same ruler as before to mark out an opening at the top. Now mark out two pieces of the same design, and cut them to the same size as the paper you just cut.
Sketches can be simple or complex depending on their age. Starting with a very simple sketch helps to start from a basic and solid basis which is going to be their reference point. Later, the sketch can be improved and made more complex, for example, with the addition of wingtips. Wingtips are upward folds at the end of the wings, which can help your plane to achieve a smoother and straighter flight path.
Get them thinking about different types of materials and how this might impact the design and performance of their planes. For example, they can use cardboard, parchment paper, aluminium foil, or glitter paper. You can ask the children what they think the result might be if they use a heavier paper e. You can also ask where it is important to fold the material to have a more solid plane.
For example, adding folds to the plane strengthens the structure of the plane. Thomas — can you be more specific? Where should the folds be added to strengthen the structure of the plane? Fold them to the crease in the middle. Stop before you reach the very end of the flap. If you complete this step successfully, you should have a small triangle left below the folded corners. Fold the triangle up so as to secure the flaps. Now, fold the paper in half along the horizontal crease created in the first step.
Fold the flaps on both sides down to the bottom. This exercise has an element of play that will relax participants, and they will get to know someone else at the event by reading the information on the paper. Finally, to spice the activity further, ask participants to throw the paper plane towards a target. This could be everything from a cone, landing strip, bulls-eye, or even yourself. You as the target could make the paper plane activity really fun, as participants will have a good laugh trying to hit you with their planes.
DISTANCE Instead of design, you could challenge participants to throw their newly designed paper planes as far possible from a fixed spot using red tape. To differentiate between the paper planes, you could use A4 sheets of various colors. TIME Instead of throwing furthest, challenge participants to make paper planes that fly for the longest time.
