Twenty dominoes standing on end become a chain that falls one after another. The hard part is the last domino and the steadiest hand of the day.

What you need

  • A box of dominoes or small wooden blocks
  • A smooth floor or table
  • A book to make a small ramp

How to play

  1. Stand the dominoes on end in a line, one finger-width apart.
  2. Test the gap with three dominoes first and adjust it.
  3. Curve the line around a chair leg to make a proper bend.
  4. Leave one gap in the middle so half the chain survives a mistake.
  5. Count down together and tip the first domino over.
  6. Rebuild it longer and add a step up onto a book.
