"Ants on a Log"
Activity
Summary
Students work together collaboratively as a team to accomplish a task that initially seemed impossible
Instructional Strategies
1. You will need an even number of participants to participate, ideally close to 10.
2. Find a straight line on the ground (or make one with tape) and have all participants stand on the line.
3. Number each participant in standing order from 1-10.
4. The object of the game is to get each person to switch positions without stepping off the line. So, person 1 will switch with person 10, 2 with 9, 3 with 8, 4 with 7, and 5 with 6.
5. This requires strategy and critical thinking to determine the best method to get everyone successfully switched while staying on the line!
