You’re sitting at home on a boring afternoon when suddenly you hear a knock on the door. You stand still but the door flies open and a box tumbles forward. There’s a tag addressed to you so naturally you open it up and realize that it’s a jet pack! You fly it around your neighborhood and when you arrive home, you have an idea. You decide to invent a sport played with jet packs. 

Now here’s the fun part. 

Invent a sport played with jet packs. 

What is the point of the sport? How do you win?  

How many players are there? What do they do? Is it an individual or a team sport?

What equipment do you use? 

What kind of a court or field do you use? What are the dimensions?

What are the rules? 

How do you keep it exciting? Are there any time limits? 

Now give this sport a name. How about Zigglepoff or Slamerduff? Okay, you can probably come up with a better name than that. 

Now that you’ve invented the sport, write the instruction manual for your sport. Make sure that it is detailed but also easy to understand.
