Introductory Activity
A fun start to the session with a blow-up world globe passed across the standing circle. The class may be invited to see how many passes it can make in a given time. A good scene setter. Picture from a class in Norway.
'Warp Speed'
A classic creative thinking and problem solving activity.
Newspaper Challenge
A more challenging version of 'Comic Revival' with a unique solution to one of the constraints seen here.
'Sticky Situation' Activity
This is a classic activity where the class are invited to unravel a roll of masking tape within certain contracts. The activity can be revisited with different sizes of masking for added difficulty. Picture from a class in Norway.
Trust Walk
A trust activity involving the class working in pairs to pass instructions for safe travel through minor obstacles which must be avoided. The pupil being guided must do so with their eyes closed.
The groups cross from one side of a marked area to the another side using 'Octa-Plus' blocks as stepping stones. This activity can be used in a simplified form to complex interdependence activities.
'Comic Revival'
Primary pupils reassembling several mixed up pages within certain constraints, one being they cannot ask for a page from another pupil they can only offer a page without hinting at exchange. Picture from a class in Norway.
The classic 'Sticky Situation' team creative problem solving activity.
'Magic Carpet'
One of many groups attempting to reverse the 'magic carpet'.
'Jig 4' Interdependence Activity
The overall aim of the activity is for group members to work as a collective whole, although it may appear each individual or small team may be working for itself.

Here the team are placing pages in a predetermined order within given constraints. Not an easy task.
Light Speed (Warp Speed Variation)
A variation on the classic Warp Speed' using a motion activated illuminating ball. Picture taken from a session in Norway.
Circle of Influence
This activity requires a creative, 'thinking outside the box' approach.
