2. Place all the materials in the centre of the meeting place and allow the girls in their Sixes to design a tower for Rapunzel to live in.
3. Following on from building their tower they will then have to design an escape for Rapunzel using the materials. It could be a zip line, a ladder, a pulley, a slide, a catapult etc.
4. Each Six will share with the rest of the Unit how they built their tower and escape route.
5. Allow the Sixes time to discuss what worked best and what they would change if they were to complete the challenge again.
