Teamwork exercise based around trying to recreate a hidden poster by working as a team. This version has a 2D shape poster so could be used when learning about properties of shape - pupils must look at the poster one at a time then return and describe to the team what they have seen. (i.e. there is a red parallelogram in the top left hand corner etc...) The same idea could be used for other topics - you just need another poster. Great for team work, ice breakers, discussion and lots of fun too! Please let me know if you like using this resource, thanks!
