Paper Aeroplane Racing Gift

 A fascinating hobby and a wonderful gift that’s been around for over two thousand years, paper aeroplane racing is something that everyone can do.    It’s not rocket science is it? It’s a piece of paper folded a few times and thrown into the air – we’ve all done it haven’t we.

So, we thought, why not take a universal favourite and turn it into a competition? Admittedly, we’re not the first. Some company called Red Bull do a thing too. But not Paper Aeroplane Racing they don’t – you’ve got to wonder why haven’t you?

Suitable for:       Agoraphobics

Competitive children of all ages

Aeronautical engineers

Desperate babysitters

INSTRUCTIONS

• We recommend holding the race inside, but if you have to hold it outside, do it in a sheltered spot on a clear, dry day when there isn’t any wind.
• Gather the competitors and show them where the starting line is
• Give everyone a standard piece of A4 office paper
• Shout ‘make your plane!’
• Everyone folds their piece of paper (without ripping, tearing, using glue or otherwise cheating in any way) until they have the something that’s pane shaped.
• Everyone gathers with their aeroplanes at the starting line
• Shout ‘ throw your plane!’
• Everyone throws their planes as far down the track as they can
• Congratulations! You have experienced Paper Aeroplane Racing Gift
