Challenge: Students focus too much on scoring or winning, reducing their exploratory attitude. Tip: Emphasise that the goal is not quick scoring but observing how collective movement changes with different approaches. Trick: Introduce “explorer points”: teams earn points for interesting observations or newly tried solutions, regardless of the outcome.
Challenge: One or two students dominate the team Tip: Highlight that every team member’s movement is equally important. Trick: Introduce a “silent round” where communication is non-verbal only, ensuring everyone’s active participation.
Challenge: Students lose curiosity and repeat earlier solutions automatically. Tip: Guide attention with questions such as “What would happen if you tried this in a completely different way?” Trick: Apply the “one-round rule change” method (e.g. walking only), creating new exploratory situations.
Challenge: Frustration arises when cooperation does not lead to immediate success. Tip: Reinforce that difficulties are a natural part of learning and that every attempt is valuable. Trick: Use a “slow-motion round” in which the team intentionally moves very slowly to observe and understand the effects of joint movement.
