Making a Fishing Game and Pole with Paper Clip Hook

This is a simple game to play and it is pretty simple to make as well. All you will have to do is to make some fish that are about 2-3" long and 1-2" wide. They need to be big enough to poke a hole in them for the hook to go through. To make sure that they are waterproof, cover each fish with a good coating of crayons. To make the fishing pole, use a stick, chopstick or a nice pencil. Then tie a string to the pole and on the other side bend a paperclip into a hook by looking at the illustration above. Then to play dump a bunch of the fish into a bath tub and then see who gets more fish...that is the person who wins.
