Caine's Arcade

A 9 year old boy builds an elaborate cardboard arcade in his dad's used auto parts store. All he needs now is a customer. http://CainesArcade.com THANK YOU! ...

Day of Play and the corresponding cardboard challenge--including the Columbus Community Cardboard Challenge--is a global movement to emphasize the importance of play and creativity in our lives. Caine’s Arcade was the birth of the movement.

What is the Columbus Community Cardboard Challenge

For the last three years the Columbus Museum of Art has hosted, in partnership with the PAST Foundation the annual Day of Play Cardboard Challenge as part of the Global Cardboard Challenge. In 2015, we took it to the schools and local community with a city-wide event!  

Play and experimentation are essential to thinking and learning. They exercise our brains, engage us in creative and critical thinking, and build the curious minds that 21st century employers are seeking across career fields. Teachers, students, community members, and CMA and PAST staff post challenges designed to encourage experimentation, build curious minds and stimulate critical thinking or, in other words, play.  Throughout the day, participants are encouraged to use your best creative thinking to answer those challenges using cardboard, tape and other recyclables.

In 2015, Community Cardboard Challenge was hosted at eleven schools in the greater Columbus area with CMA and PAST Foundation representatives on hand to help build and create, pose creative challenges, record feats of construction, and connect schools across the city.

The Global Cardboard Challenge encourages friends, family, co-workers and community members all over the world to come out to play at local events, celebrating the creativity and imagination of kids everywhere.
