Physical Challenge - Your team
has the challenge of putting together a series of 3 large jigsaws.
Challenge 1 You can only place your own piece of the
jigsaw. Your team should complete the puzzle as quickly as possible.
Challenge 2 Having completed the first puzzle your team
should consider how best to tackle 2 . Again only the owner of the
piece must place it.
FEEDBACK/REVIEW
Did you
get faster? Did you come up with a 'standard operating procedure'?
What features of collaborative work did you feel your group were
good at?
Challenge 3
In this challenge your team must choose a 'placer' and a
'communicator'. The placer is the only one who can build the jigsaw
and they can only do what the communicator says. The communicator
can only repeat the instructions given by the other 8 people in the
team.
FEEDBACK/REVIEW
How much more
difficult or easier did this make the task? Can you complete a
puzzle faster or slower using this method? Why?

In your groups
design another challenge
which you think would help people to realise the importance of good
group work.
Your game needs rules (keep these simple! they must all be written
clearly on one piece of sugar paper)
It must be suitable for teams of up to 10 players.
The only pieces of equipment your game can use are bean bags, a length
of rope and a bucket. |
