Coach Instructions (1/3)
02
The goal of this exercise is for students to be able to analyze their behavior in a stressful
situation. Were they emotionally stable during a stressful and unfair situation? Did the
situation prevent them from working effectively?
Goal of
the Game
Distribute the envelopes to each of the countries. Give the instructions from the previous slides
Preparation
At the beginning of the game there will be a lot of confusion and students will have many questions,
such as 'Where can I get scissors?', 'Why have we only got paper?', 'Can we buy things off other
countries?', 'Can we combine with other cities?', 'Can we have a loan?' Resist all temptation to
answer these questions. Just repeat what you said at the beginning. After a minute or two they
should begin moving around the room and trading, but the initiative should come from them, not
you. The rich countries (A1 and A2) will probably begin making shapes, as they have all the materials
and equipment that they need, but they will soon run out of raw materials and will probably try to
buy some paper from other groups.
Beginning of
the Game
During the game, one coach will be the observer. The other coach will be the commodity trader.
Instructions will be given in the following slides.
During the
Game
Lead a reflection session with the students, based on the questions we will provide.
After the
Game
Coach Instructions (2/3)
02
Observers should watch how groups negotiate the prices of paper and other materials. They
should note the formation and operation of any alliances and deals and any cheating that
takes place. Observers should also report to you any malpractice, such as stealing other
countries' paper, implements or shapes. It is up to you to decide whether you should ignore
the problem, thereby encouraging countries to do their own policing, or whether you should
impose a punishment, such as suspending them from making shapes for 5 minutes,
confiscating certain materials or fining them.
Observer
The trader must be careful in measuring the shapes and reject any that have not been cut
out. Alternatively, if they have been torn carefully against a ruler, or are only slightly too large
or small, a reduced price could be given. You could leave this to the trader to decide, or you
could agree a policy in advance. The trader must keep a close eye on the money to prevent
students stealing it, preferably keeping it out of their reach. Shapes that have been sold
should be put into an envelope or box, again out of reach of students.
Commodity
Trader
During the game, one coach will be the observer. The other coach will be the commodity trader
