A teacher emailed me today, asking if there was any use for old 3.5-inch "floppy" disks. Apparently she found a box of "new" ones when cleaning out a cabinet. I came up with 15 uses; add more in the comments...
1) You could make art, like some kind of collage on the wall...
2) You could use them as coasters...
3) Get 43 more, and paint them as playing cards. Play poker with the students...
4) Paint bullseyes on them and use them for playing darts...
5) Wobbly chair legs? Problem solved!
6) Two words: Miniature frisbees!
7) Put stars on them and hand them out as rewards to star students...
8) Glue the edges together in the shape of a box to make a pen/pencil holder...
9) Travel back in time to 1996 and sell them for a profit...
10) Save them for your grandchildren and tell them stories of the olden days...
11) Take them to Staples and ask for your money back, just to see what they say...
12) Use them to scrape gum off the underside of desks...
13) Mail them to AOL one at a time every two weeks...
14) Break into the Smithsonian and place them next to the exhibit of the original Apple Macintosh (pretty sure this will be a Nicolas Cage movie soon)...
15) Label them "Top Secret NSA Archives" and hide them inside a wall. Loads of fun for some future construction worker!
