Youth Ministry Games : traffic light revised

1. traffic light revised Submitted by: on April 20, 2000
Materials: 9 paper plates
Messy Rating: No Sweat     Duration: 5-20 minutes    Cost: $0.00

First lay the plates out in a line far enough apert to have people stand on them. Then place 8 people on them, facing the middle one which is open like so L L L L O R R R R.
The object is to get them entire sides to slip without leaving the paper plates. There's more, they cannot jump a member of their side who faces the same way, they have to take turn (L then R and then L and so forth), and they can only jump one person at a time. Last, they cannot backtrack and must start over when no one can move. Here's the answer sheet for those keeping score, it's long so bear with me.

This is the only answer to this problem. They cannot move out of line to see the full picture, they can't turn around(only with their head) and as one or more get the answer, if they get it too soon, you can handicap them so that they cannot talk or whatever. Thiw makes the rest of the group have to figure it out too. The discussion afterwards can be roles people play in life (idea person, shy and distant, sheep and follows orders, or whatever). With handicapped people, ask them how they felt not being able to help the group at all. Great discussion out of it.
