Description

A primary model is created by the leaders secretly, in a relay format each patrol needs to recreate the model. In a relay format, each Scout can only visit the secret model once, they must relay the details of the model to the rest of the patrol to enable them to recreate it. The best recreation wins


Resources

Lego or Duplo

1. The leader will build a basic shape/tower with different colored blocks. For example you can have 1 of each of the following blocks: red, yellow, green, turquoise, & blue and stack them up off setting them a little as you go up. The older the group you are playing with the more complicated the shape you can make. Keep the sculpture hidden from view.
2. Each group will need the exact same lego or duplo so that they can replicate exactly what the leader has built. If you want it to be more complicated you can add extra lego into their mix but if you need to keep it simple for a younger group you will want only the same exact blocks.

Instructions

1. Work as Sixes/Patrols.
2. Have a leader sitting equal distance from the teams with the small lego sculpture hidden.
3. When the game starts, one person from each group gets to look at the secret lego sculpture for 10 seconds.
4. They then will return to their team and they will have 30 seconds to describe the structure to the rest of their teammates so that they can start building an exact replica. They will not be able to help build or communicate after the 30 seconds.
5. After working on it for 1 minute they may return to inspect the secret sculpture again and can communicate with their team members again for 30 seconds. This process can repeat until one of the teams announces they have built an exact replica of the secret sculpture.
6. Winner is the first team done!
