Instructions

Dog, Rice, Chicken A game that gets your grey-cells turbo charged with lateral thinking and planning – dog, rice, chicken encourages creative problem solving within team.

One of the group members is allotted the role of a farmer and the rest team acts as villagers.

The farmer has to return home along with its 3 purchases (Dog, Rice and Chicken) by crossing a river in a boat.

He can carry only one item with him on the boat. He cannot leave the dog alone with the chicken because the dog will eat the chicken, and he cannot leave the chicken alone with the bag of grain because the chicken will eat the bag of grain.

How does he get all three of his purchases back home safely by crossing the river not more than 7 times? The villagers can help him in arriving at the solution, which is really simple if the group thinks creatively and together.

Solution:

1. Take the chicken to the other side
2. Go back
3. Take the rice to the other side
4. Leave the rice and go back with the chicken
5. Take the dog and leave the chicken
6. Leave the dog with the rice
7. Go back.
8. Take the chicken

All should now be on the other side
