Everything you need in one place!
Starting your own domino club is a fantastic way to connect with fellow builders, improve your skills, and create amazing chain reactions together! Whether you're organizing a club at school, in a library, or in your community, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
1. Define Your Club’s Purpose
Before launching your club, think about what you want to achieve. Do you want to focus on freestyle building, competitive toppling, record-breaking attempts, or teaching beginners? Having a clear purpose will help attract members who share your interests and set the foundation for your activities.
2. Find a Meeting Space
Domino building requires a stable and spacious environment. Schools, libraries, and community centers are great options, as they often welcome new after-school programs. If you’re starting with a small group, a private home with a quiet room could also work. Just make sure your location has a flat, stable surface and minimal foot traffic to prevent accidental topples.
3. Gather Supplies
To get started, you’ll need a good set of dominoes. If you don’t have a large collection yet, start with a few hundred and expand over time. Flat building surfaces like tables or wooden boards are useful, along with tweezers or domino tools for precise stacking. Video equipment can help capture and share your builds, while containers or trays will keep your dominoes organized.
4. Recruit Members
Building a domino club is more fun with a mix of skill levels, so try to attract both beginners and experienced builders. Spread the word through school announcements, social media, and community groups. Posting flyers in libraries or youth centers can also help find interested members. Encouraging friends to invite others will create a welcoming and diverse group.
5. Plan Your Meetings
Decide how often your club will meet—weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Each session can include different activities to keep things exciting. You might start with a skill workshop to teach new techniques, followed by free building time or themed challenges. Competitions like speed runs, height challenges, or collaborative projects can keep members engaged. A show-and-tell session at the end of each meeting allows builders to share their progress and get feedback.
6. Promote Your Builds
Sharing your club’s work will inspire others and help grow your community. Consider creating a social media page or YouTube channel to showcase your builds. Posting photos on Instagram or Facebook and submitting videos to domino-building communities can also attract more people to your club. And if you include the hashtag #H5dominocommunity the whole community will see it right away!
7. Connect with Other Clubs
Once your club is up and running, reach out to other domino clubs or online communities. Exchanging ideas and collaborating on projects can take your builds to the next level. Let us know about your club, and we’ll add it to our list of Domino Clubs so others can find and connect with you!
Final Tips for Success
Patience is key—great builds take time and practice. Encourage teamwork and creativity, and always prioritize safety (no running near builds!). Most importantly, have fun! By following these steps, you’ll create a welcoming and exciting space for domino builders in your area. We can’t wait to see what your club builds next!
