At the end of this activity, students should be better able to (select as many as apply):
be flexible
Divide the class into groups of 5 to 6.
Tell the groups they are going to create quiz questions to quiz the other groups based on the content they are learning.
They have to create 1 question for each of the other groups. Once they have created the questions, they have to specifically assign to each group. They have 3 minutes to do this.
Once the time is up, get one group member of each group to stand up. That member now changes group and moves to one group over to the left.
Each group has now lost a member who knows the question that their new group will be asked AND has gained a member who knows what question they will be asked.
They have a minute to either choose to re-assign questions amongst the groups or change a question to a new one. Once their one minute is up, get another group member to stand up and now move to a group two over to their left.
Groups again have 1 minute to decide what to do.
Keep repeating this process for 5-6 rounds or as long as you have time.
Then collect the quiz questions from the groups and ask the questions to the specific groups they have been assigned to.
Groups with the most points win.

Having to re-decide repeatedly by making changes is a great way to help kids practice flexibility. They might be pleased with their original plan but when circumstances change, they have to learn to change their plans to fit those circumstances.
