Melting Icebergs is a movement-based learning activity focused on creative problem-solving, in which students are challenged to find new and imaginative ways to fit safely onto an increasingly smaller surface. The central question of the game is not who stays in and who is eliminated, but rather: How can we creatively organise ourselves so that everyone can fit? Students experiment together with body positions, spatial arrangements and movement strategies, while experiencing that creativity often emerges from shared thinking, cooperation and repeated trial and error. The activity emphasises effort, experimentation and collaboration rather than competition or success.
