Please help me choose a class prize or two

I'm running an in-school competition, class against class. It will last a week and the best class will win some wet play games or toys. I can spend up to £30 and the children are aged 4-11.

Any ideas m'netters? I'm sure many of you have spent many (un)happy hours minding a class when it's pouring down in the rain.

Thank you.

Tricky, because the age range is so wide.

Twister? Dart board (magnetic, not sharp!)? Indoors netball/basketball hoop? Origami sets? Other arts/crafts stuff?

Marble Run. My year 1s & 2s love it and year 5 & 6 enjoy playing with theirs too.

Some lovely ideas, thank you. I was drawn to board games originally, so I'm glad you've helped me see sense.

I think board games are a good idea, but don't get ones with too many pieces as these are easily lost!

Could you choose the prize after you know who has won, so that it will be age appropriate?

Bop it. The mini one, with less 'bits' on it. My yr2 class love it. You can also play it as a circle game. Each child has a go and passes it round after.
We have one at home, and ds8 and ds10 challenge each other. Great fun.
