Instructions

This game is all about problem solving, and working with other groups to find a win-win situation. This is realistically for children from about the age of 9 upwards.

You need a large room, and lots of chairs in it.

Split the players into three teams. Then give each team one of the following three specific challenges:

Place all the chairs in the room in a circle
Turn all the chairs in the room on their side
Move all the chairs to one corner of the room
Chaos often then results, as the players attempt to meet their specific target.

Often at some point they may start to realize that they can all work together to meet all three goals at the same time.
