A Paper Airplane Landing Game for Kids of All Ages

Buckle your seatbelts and build a few extra planes—this is going to be tricky!

Tricky Landings is a paper airplane game where players design and build planes to land in a predefined location.

Why Play?

Challenge yourself with this fun and educational paper plane game! More than just throwing a paper airplane, players construct landing zones and aim to land their plane as close to the target as possible. This activity enhances creativity, problem-solving, and understanding of flight mechanics.

Materials You'll Need:

  • Paper airplane templates
  • Paper clips
  • Tape
  • Two or more players
  • An indoor or outdoor course
  • A way to mark the landing space

Building the Landing Strip

The course for this paper airplane game is simple to set up. You just need a space large enough for flights and a landing area, such as a table, chair, couch cushion, or any surface suitable for a paper plane.

Skilled pilots maneuver their aircraft to land safely in tight spaces, while beginners may need more room for smooth landings. To ensure a fair and engaging game, design a course that accommodates different skill levels—larger landing areas for newcomers and smaller, more precise zones for experienced players.

The Landing Competition

Before taking off, players should consider factors like wind speed, distance, plane design, and weight distribution. A well-built paper airplane minimizes air resistance, allowing it to glide efficiently toward the landing strip.

Each contestant must launch their plane from behind the start line and aim for the designated landing area without getting knocked off course or crashing.

Winning the Game

  • The paper airplane that lands on or closest to the landing strip wins.
  • Each player must launch their plane from behind the start line.

Looking for a fun and creative way to bring your paper planes to life? Tricky Landings is an exciting and challenging game for everyone!
