Activity Overview
The next time that spaghetti is on the menu for mealtime, try out this Spaghetti Break Challenge with your family. It is sure to baffle those at the table tonight.
Challenge your mealtime partners by asking them to break a stick of spaghetti in half while holding the ends of the pasta. This will seem like an easy task, but they will be bamboozled to learn that every time the task is attempted, the spaghetti breaks into three pieces, instead of the desired two.
