Plinko

Editor’s Note: Plinko debuted in 1983 on The Price Is Right, where its name was inspired by the distinctive “plink” sound of the disc striking pegs as it falls, and it quickly became one of the show’s most recognizable games, later inspiring both a home version from EastPoint Sports and simple DIY cardboard builds. This Material Practice activity shows how to create your own The Price Is Right-style Plinko game using cardboard.
