Given: a deck of cards, 10 inches of tape.
Build the highest structure possible which will stand for 30 seconds.


Given: a sheet of typing paper, 5 pieces of 2" square sticky paper, 5 beans, 
5 elbow macaroni, 5 toothpicks, 1 small lump of Clay.
In three minutes, build a picture. In the following two minutes, 
tell a story about the picture one team member at a time.


Given: 15 foam balls, 5 large paper clips,  5 rubber bands, 3 popsicle sticks, 
a plastic spoon, a 12" piece of string, a mailing label, 5 straws, a 4'x4" piece of cardboard, 
a paper towel tube, 1 large box, 1 small box.
Place one large and one small box ten feet from a line marked on the floor. You will have three 
minutes to think and construct, and three minutes to solve the problem. Construct at least
three different devices to shoot the foam balls into the boxes. Each device must be made from 
at least two items and must shoot at least five balls. Balls may be retrieved and retried,
but not while someone is shooting. There will be a 5 point penalty if this occurs.
5 points will be awarded for each ball in the larger box and 10 points for each ball in the
smaller box at the end of the 3 minutes.


Given: 5 colors of index cards- 5 of each color.
In two minutes, each member is to try to get 5 of one color of card.
Members must trade 2 cards at a time and may not talk. Members may not take 
cards unless they are given to them.
Members may also not signal to other members in order to get them to give cards. 
This is an exercise in teamwork and observation.


Given: 2 pencils, 2 packages gummy lifesavers, 4 packages regular
lifesavers, 2 blindfolds.
You will have 5 minutes to develop and test and 2 minutes to complete task.
 The problem is to develop a nonverbal communication / system 
to put lifesavers on a pencil in a preset order. Two people will  
wear the blindfolds, and they will be putting the lifesavers on the pencil. 

Given

4 boxes, 10 air filled balloons, about 100 straight pins, tape, tweezers, pen.
prepare boxes as shown. Put the balloons into the boxes without popping 
them using tweezers, tape and the pen.


Place a deck of cards, including the jokers, in the middle of the table. 
The team has one minute to think and three minutes to respond.
Team members, in sequence, will flip the cards over, one at a time, 
telling a story using whatever card they flipped as a part of the story. 
The story continues until all the cards are gone. Scoring- one point for common 
responses and three points for creative responses. One extra point given for each 
second under the three minute time limit if all the cards were flipped.


Given: table top marked with a start line and a finish line that are one meter apart, 
3 sheets of typing paper, 1 pair of scissors, 2 yards of String or yarn, 36 inches of masking 
tape, 9 tennis balls, 2 unsharpened pencils, 1 wooden ruler, 5 plastic straws, 1 Styrofoam 
or paper cup.
Within 15 minutes, create a device that will transport one tennis bail at a time from behind 
the start line across the finish line. The device may not be touched by humans either going 
to the finish line or returning to the start time for another "load." Allow five minutes to 
demonstrate solution to problem. Balls may be removed by a team member after they 
have crossed the line, and a team member is allowed to place a tennis ball into the device 
for transport Scoring- 1 point for each piece of equipment used on completed device. 
10 points for cleverness of design of device. 10 points for each ball transported across finish line.


Given: 4 ft. of string, 3 paper clips, 1 sheet of typing paper, a Dixie cup.
There are two lines on the floor 3 feet apart. A 10 ounce glass bottle lies on its side, 
pointing left on the far side of the second line. The problem is to rotate the point of the 
bottle 3 full times without crossing the first line. 
You have 4 minutes to plan and 3 minutes to execute the solution.


Given: 6 straws cut in half, a cup of shaving cream.
Without talking, build the highest structure you can in 3 minutes.
Measure the structure at its highest point.


Given:  3 pieces of typing paper, a paper towel tube, 10 pipe cleaners, 
a Styrofoam plate, a wad of clay.
Using the above materials, construct a device that can cushion an egg from breaking 
when dropped from a height of six feet.
