Rotation Six
Game 1 - Throw and Clap
Game 2 - Puzzling Puzzles
Number of Players: 2 or more
Rules
Puzzle pieces for each puzzle should be taken off of the puzzle and put in an envelope. There should be approximately 4-5 people per group, with each group receiving one puzzle and an envelope of pieces. Prior to giving the puzzle packages to the groups, one piece from each puzzle should be taken out and placed in a different group's envelope, which would insure that the puzzle could not be put together without the appropriate piece.
Pass out the puzzle pieces in the envelope.
Instruct the groups to wait until the signal to begin is given, and tell them that they should cooperate and put the puzzles together. The winning group will receive some surprise or token.
Once the signal given, the participants should begin to put the puzzle together. As the participants begin to notice that they are missing a piece or have a piece that doesn't belong to them, they will begin to ask you what they should do? Where is their piece?
Continue to walk around observing the participants putting their pieces together. Do not respond or attempt to answer their questions.
The groups will generally proceed looking for their pieces, and will discover that another group has the necessary piece. The winning group is the first to put their puzzle together.
