Lightsabers!

One of our very creative parents made these lightsabers for the class. 

 It was such a great idea! The kids LOVED putting them into action--and what is better than lightsabers/swords that don't hurt? 

They are just pool noodles wrapped with black tape on the bottoms.  What a simple and fun idea!

Here they are in action . . .

This would be another great "I'm bored" actvitiy . . . and a bonus . . . you could try them in the pool!

Bonus: Hearing the kids talk to each other in their best Star Wars imitations!
