Broken Squares -- 02/01/2012
BROKEN SQUARES: NONVERBAL PROBLEM-SOLVING
This game is one of our favorites at Cynosure Health. It packs a lot of lessons about group problem solving, group behavior and teamwork into a single activity.
Goals:
1. To analyze some aspect of cooperation in solving a group problem
2. To sensitize participants to behaviors which may contribute toward or obstruct the solving of a group problem
