DIY – Hook-a-duck game
For celebrating birthdays, spending good time with friends or animating school fairs, Pierrot Gourmand invites you to do an ecofriendly, creative and fun activity to play outside or inside. Step by step discover how to upcycle yogurt tubs and create a Hook-a duck- game.
You will need some colored yogurt tubs and lots of imagination to create the favorite game of your kids that they will be able to play during their last day of school just before summer holidays.
Equipment list:
• Yogurt tubs
• Metal ties (or wire)
• Eye, mouth and nose stickers
• Black felt pen
• Wood sticks
• String
• Hot glue
• Paper clips
Steps:
Step 1: Making the fishing rod
Wind a piece of string around a wood stick using hot glue. At the end of the string, put a paper clip that will be used to “fish” a maximum of yogurt tubs.
Step 2: Adding the hook to the yogurt tubs
Use a metal tie to punch the yogurt tub. Make sure to leave enough space between the tub and the tie to be able to catch it with the fishing rod.
To decorate the yogurt tubs and create characters, let your imagination run free. With mouth and eye stickers, or using a black felt pen, personify the yogurt tubs as you want!
Here you are, you’ve finished with making the game, you can start playing!
Hook-a-duck game is the favorite game of summer fairs, that kids play outside at any occasion, and is perfect to have fun with friends during their free time or snack time.

Making a hook-a-duck game for a birthday party
Birthday are the perfect occasions to create this fun game: same as for funfairs or school fairs, you can make some cardboard coupons that state “Good for a gift” and give one to each kid that catches 5 or 10 tubs.
When the game is over and all kids have won a coupon, you can offer them a gift bag filled with Pierrot Gourmand candies.
Fresh-Milk Caramel arrow-shaped lollipops or cola-, strawberry, lemon-, apple-, grenadine-flavored lollipops, and also gummies with fantasy shapes of stars, clouds, rabbits or butterflies: make your choice!
You can be sure that this upcycled hook-a-duck game will give much fun to all kids that come to your kid’s birthday party.
Upcycling, what’s that?
It is an ethical and sustainable practice that gives a new life to existing objects or materials. It aims at improving and reuse these elements to make new products of higher quality.
Pierrot Gourmand is an avid supporter of this practice and regularly proposes creative ideas based on upcycling. From confetti mask to crescent moon DIY, upcycling can be used for many occasions.
