different attributes labelled. Then the group needs to write a story about this person.
The story should highlight all of the amazing things their imaginary person can do with
all of the awesome characteristics he/she has been given. Allow time at the end of the
group time for each team to share their person and to read their story.

created.

Ask one member form each team to come at the same time to look at the sculpture for
five seconds in order to try to memorize it as much as possible before returning to
his/her team. After they run back to their teams, they have 30 seconds to instruct their
teams how to build the structure so that it looks like the one that has been hidden. After
the 30 seconds, each team sends another member of their group who gets a chance to
"sneak a peek" before returning to their team. Continue in this pattern until one of the
teams successfully duplicates the original sculpture. One can have more than one round
