Dear forum,
For Father's Day, I am going to have my brother's family, parents, and my own family over, and I want to have a pinball tournament for the younger members with prizes.
I have eleven pins, and there will be six kids ranging from 6 to 15 years, pretty evenly distributed in age across that range.
I really want everyone to have fun, to win SOMETHING, and yet be proud of their 'accomplishment,' even if engineered.
(Un)fortunately, half the kids have some experience (including the youngest), and half do not, in symmetric age distributions, no less. That is, one young, one middle, one older child each in the experienced and experienced group.
Any ideas for contests/prizes that minimizes risks of hurt feelings?
Thanks!
