About a Game
Silent Artwork
I will split the class up into even groups, depending on how many people there are. Each group will then get into a straight line, the first person facing the board, and each person lining up directly behind them. I will hand out a piece of paper with a drawing on it, which only the group leader can see. The group leader will have to draw that image on the back of the person in front of them and so on, until it gets to the person facing the board. The person at the board has to draw what they think is being drawn on them. I will judge which is closest to the original picture. After 5 rounds, whoever has the most point’s wins. There are no verbal hints allowed. The purpose of this is to pay attention to detail and really focus on the task at hand. The winners will get a prize.
Great Egg Drop * Teams are sectioned off into groups of three, four or five. The team must design a package which will safely protect an egg when it is dropped from ten feet for the lowest possible cost. Amongst the group, a leader must be chosen who oversees the construction of the product as well as gives a presentation as to why their egg packaging is the best. The team which gives the best presentation, as well as creates the best packaging which protects the egg, for the lowest material cost, is the winner.
Blindfolded Polygon * The group is divided into groups of three, four or five. (The more players, the more challenging the leadership exercise.) Each team assigns one leader. The rest of the team members get blindfolded. The team leader hands the rest of their team a rope which is several feet long. When the game begins the leader calls out different shapes, such as circles, triangles and squares, which the rest team must make while blindfolded. The leader can use their voice to direct players to where they need to position the rope in order to complete the shape. The team who completes the most shapes in a pre-determined amount of time is considered the
