Station 1: Rainbow domino
Objectives:
Trust in team members
Understanding team members’ strengths and weaknesses

Instructions:
1. You are to stand in front of a laptop, away from the domino area when viewing the colour sequence
2. You will be shown once only to remember the full colour sequence
3. Using the least possible time, you have to set up the domino tiles in the same colour order
4. Only one representative from the group can request the colour to be shown again at the same speed
5. Domino tiles must be able to fall through at one try, every 5 seconds will be added for a tile unable to fall and another 2 seconds will be added for a wrong position of the tile.
EG. the last three tiles did not fall after a single push, and the team took 1min 25 sec, the recorded time will be 1min 40 sec (1min 25 sec + 3 X 5sec), and if there are 10 tiles being placed in the wrong position, the time will then become 2 min (1min 40 sec + 20 sec)

Station 2: Salute Coins
Objectives:
Manage stress under time
Getting the work done with the least effort through the team
Patience and perseverance

Instructions:
Students will be given 3 mathematical sums per team
They are to form 3 rows of coins added up to be the solution to the sums
Students can work with both the coins and the solutions at the same time
They are to used the fixed given number of coins provided
Not allowed to use personal coins
The 3 rows of coins must be standing together at the same time before they are fall together

Game 3: Are you being restricted?
Objectives:
Creativity and innovation
Ability to come up with the best solution in the shortest possible time
Conflict solving

Instructions:
Both teams are given the same number of domino tiles
All the tiles are tied to a string
Game masters will then say out the body parts
All team members are then to tie to the end of the string to the body parts stated
Eg. “Your domino tiles are to tie to… 1 hair, 3 fingers, 4 ears” The team must then tie the domino tiles to 1 hair, 3 fingers and 4 ears and then form them up in a straight line
A straight row of domino tiles are to set up using the shortest possible time
(For the game masters, extra strings can be given to the students if they request for it)
Team members can tie to more body parts but not lesser than what the game masters said
All the domino tiles must be set up standing up before they are being toppled
All tiles must be able to fall through at one try
Penalty of 5 sec for every domino tiles unable to fall

Game 4: DO ME NO
Objectives:
Common goal
Division of labour

Instructions:
Teams are given same number of domino tiles
Students will have to set up a “ME” shape using only domino tiles
The domino tiles are to cover the white area after the fall
(we will be using white paper and tape, to make the white “ME” area)
(for game masters, extra domino tiles can be given only when request is made by the students)
Using only one push, all domino tiles must be able to fall
Time penalty of 5 seconds for every tile unable to fall
The white area of “ME” must be totally covered
Students are not allowed to tear away the white area or do anything destructive to the white paper, heavy penalty of 5min to be added for any teams caught cheating


Game 5: King of the Castle
Objectives:
Working around the rules
Importance of foundation
Integrity

Instructions:
Form a circle of dominos using 80 of the domino tiles
Build a castle of 3 level high using only poker cards within the area of circle of dominos
(For game masters, there are only 75 tiles at both sides, so the teams have to do a simple cheer in order to get 5 more tiles
Let them discover the missing 5 tiles first and when they ask about it at the first time, answer them “don’t know”, second time, demand a good cheer before giving them 5 more tiles)
The wall of domino tiles must be built first before the castle of poker cards
All domino tiles must be able to fall through at one push only after both the wall and castle is set up
Rivalry between kingdoms is allowed
80 domino tiles must be used to form the wall for the castle
A minimum of 3 level high of castle is to set up
Time penalty of 5 seconds for every domino tile unable to fall and time penalty of 20 seconds for incompletion of castle
