Table Topics

Here is a trick I used to do, but now I have found a video to go with it. You are basically balancing a glass upside down on a few quarters, with a dime under the glass. The challenge is how to get the dime out without moving the glass.

Have a watch:

How I Would Use This

I could really see a great big conference room pondering over this as they have their dinner. Every table would have a couple of quarters and a dime and the glass and tablecloth are already there.
A wonderful team activity would follow.

The point of this activity could be:

-the solution may not be obvious
-it takes a whole room to find the solution
-little actions can make a big difference

You might want to try having groups who figure it out teach those who don't know how it is done.
What fun.
