When times up, groups should compare their drawings. It can be comical to see how badly they can turn out. The game can get people laughing and highlights how difficult giving instructions can be and how important it is to communicate clearly. The challenge gets harder as more people cross to the other side and requires everyone to remember and communicate with each other. Plan, create, rehearse and deliver structured oral and/or multimodal presentations to report on a topic, tell a story, recount events or present an argument using subjective and objective language, complex sentences, visual features, tone, pace, pitch and volume (AC9E4LY07) Cards are a classic past-time. Card games have cascaded down through generations of families. Enjoy the very best of them, with the likes of Governor of Poker 2 and Uno Online. Create a maze of lines and shapes by stringing twine between vertical 2 poles. The end result should resemble a spider's web with some larger, easier holes and some smaller more difficult gaps. Teams must cross the spider web to reach the other side without touching the string or going in the same shapes as anyone before them.Place the nine numbers in the table so they obey the row and column headings about the properties of the numbers. In this activity, you will create an "electric fence" that teams must cross over without touching. To create the fence, tie a rope or shoe string to two chairs or other objects. The rope should be elevated to about waist-height. Position the team on one side of the rope.

In this game, divide the group into multiple teams. One person from each team is selected to view a hidden object or sculpture. They only have 10 seconds at a time to peek at the sculpture and must relay the information that they see to the rest of their group. The group must try to recreate the sculpture based on the peek person's description. I just want to say how much the children are enjoying this competition. It is the first year we have entered, and I have students aged 8 to 11 participating in my Computing lessons, with some of our older students also taking on the challenges. It is really helping to challenge their thinking, and they are showing great determination to try and complete each task! Also fantastic to find something that works on our iPads, as most puzzles of this kind are flash based.” These cards can be used in so many different ways, the sky is the limit! You may like to provide students with a short period of time each day and work through one card at a time, recording the answers on the included answer sheet. At the end of the month, you can answer the puzzles as a whole-class. Partition numbers in different ways according to the clues given. The higher levels are quite hard! Split team members into equal groups of 4 or 5 people (though not ideal, it is possible to play with groups of 3). Give each group a different jigsaw puzzle. It is their tasks to solve the puzzle, however, there is a catch.As Griffiths shows in his book, creative companies are some of the most enjoyable to work in – and among the most successful in the long term. A great puzzle requiring you to use all of the cards to create a continuous red line from start to finish. It is organized in over 60 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. I’ve had several laminators over the years. I currently use a Scotch laminator at home and a Swingline laminator at school. Players must trust the team member to describe it accurately and listen to their instructions. It can help break down management barriers if you select a lower-level person as the person to view the sculpture. In a different position than they are accustomed to, it pushes them to adjust, direct a team and communicate clearly.

Calculate the areas of all the possible quadrilaterals that can be constructed by joining together dots on this grid. What about those classic puzzle games mentioned earlier? We have an abundance of them, some in traditional form and others with a new and unique twist. Word Games Puzzles get you thinking and learning in new ways. They force you to challenge the idea that there's only one way of doing things, and they train you to explore a range of options. By doing that, you develop a much richer understanding of any situation, and get your "creative juices" flowing.

In Drawful, each player receives an unusual prompt they need to try and draw on their phone in a limited amount time. After someone finishes and submits their drawing, everyone else submits a title anonymously that could fit the other player's drawing. These titles can be humorous or serious, it's up to each player. The goal is to find the correct drawing prompt while fooling others into selecting decoy answer. Bonus points are awarded to the decoys that are particularly clever or funny. As well as avoiding the traps laid by puzzles writers, you also need to have a range of effective thinking strategies if you're going to find the answers. This month we ran our puzzle and problem solving team competition amongst the different grades. We decided to improve from the traditional "hard maths" questions and have inquiry and thinking stations. This wasn't about who was the best at just Maths, it was about who was the best at doing Maths using all the MYP ATL Skills. An interactive mathematical crossword for you to do online. Find the missing words from the given clues.
