Color Me A Rainbow
Read to the team:
This is a two-part problem. You will have 6 minutes to complete part 1. Part 1 is
a non-verbal problem. No questions may be asked regarding the solution of the
problem, although, you may ask the judges to reread any part of the instructions
or scoring. Part 2 will be verbal responses to part 1.
Your problem:
Each team member is given a different color of marker. On a large piece of
paper, team members, in a circle, will take turns adding onto the drawing of the
person before them. After part one ends, team members that participated can
make creative comments about the teams' masterpiece.
Scoring:
Use of colors: 1-10 points
Theme: 1-20 points
How well the team built upon the idea: 1-50 points
Complexity of the drawing: 1-50 points
Part two responses: 1 point for a common response, 5 points for a creative
response.
REREAD THE PROBLEM.
For Coaches: After completing the above Spontaneous, have the group try it
again, but this time, score the drawing as follows: All items drawn must be
completed with more then one color. They may not color over another color. For
instance: Some one could draw pants, another the shirt and another a hat, to
form a person. They would not get any score for a yellow sun, but if they added
orange rays of sunshine, this would score well. Remember that this is a nonverbal Spontaneous. Watch them stubble, and have a good laugh… Joe
