Who this list is for
This circuit maze game board supply list fits older elementary students building a supervised, battery-powered circuit game on cardboard. It is for a low-voltage classroom model, not an electronics lab project.
How to use this list
Start each team with a cardboard base panel, pencil, and fine-tip markers to plan the maze. Add wooden craft sticks as guides, then use insulated solid-core craft wire and alligator clip leads to connect the AA battery holder, two AA batteries, and low-voltage LED bulb. Adults should handle the wire cutters and needle-nose pliers; students should wear safety goggles while working nearby.
Common mistakes
Do not use anything other than the listed battery-powered components. Avoid cutting wire or adjusting connections while the battery holder is connected. Keep wire paths spaced apart and secure loose sections with clear tape or masking tape so the maze stays on its cardboard base.
What is on this list
The list covers AA battery holders with leads, AA batteries, LED bulbs, craft wire, alligator clip leads, cardboard panels, craft sticks, clear tape, masking tape, pencils, markers, adult-use wire cutters and pliers, and goggles. Cross off team materials already available.
Before you go
Count teams before gathering battery holders, batteries, bulbs, wire rolls, and base panels. Check that the adult-use cutters and pliers are ready before students begin. Set aside enough safety goggles for every student.
