Setup:

1. Draw the game board on the blackboard/flipchart/whiteboard. (Board should be 6 squares vertical and horizontal.)
2. Write the goal and the scoring on the blackboard/flipchart/whiteboard.
3. Divide the class into 3 groups.
4. Explain the rules.

Goal: To get the highest score possible Scoring:

6 in a row is worth 100 points (horizontal or vertical only)

5 in a row is worth 50 points

4 in a row is worth 25 points

Rules:
A square can only be counted one time. It cannot be used for both a horizontal and vertical row. Diagonals do not count.

Round one: Each team selects a spokesperson for the round. The spokesperson is the only one who can speak once we start the round. You will have 3 minutes to pick your spokesperson and plan you strategy. (Leader can be flexible with the time.) Team one goes first for this round. Once the round starts the spokesperson gives the square coordinates when it is your team's turn.

Round two: Like round one except that team 2 goes first.

Round three: Team 3 goes first

Game Board:

	1	2	3	4	5	6

Learning points:

• If each team picks a row and completes it and does not block the other teams they will all get the maximum score (Total 600 pts.)
• Bring out the importance of knowing the goal. (Maximize the score not get a higher score then the other teams.)
• Tell appropriate story of when teamwork paid off or when someone hurt themselves by not working as a team.
• Could also make the point about thinking ahead about the results of your actions and how hurting someone else might really be hurting yourself.
• Looking for the win-win solution gives a better result for everyone.
