Instant Challenge: Mittens
This is an entry level
challenge
A. When the team members
enter the room, tell them, "This is a verbal challenge.
You have 1 minute to select the five team members that who will
compete. The others must sit in these seats (indicate seats)
and watch or be escorted from the room. They may not assist in
solving the challenge and may not talk at any time. Any participation
by a designated non-participating team member, will result in
a penalty against the entire team."
B. JUDGE READS TO TEAMS:
(Do not read material in parentheses.)
1. You will have 1 minute
to think and 2 minutes to respond. You may ask the judges questions;
however, time will continue. You may not talk to each other at
any time.
2. Once time begins,
it will not be stopped, even if a judge asks you to repeat a
response, clarify it, or give a more appropriate response. Speak
loudly and clearly.
3. Your team will respond
in the order that you are seated. You may not skip your turn,
repeat an answer or pass. If one member of your team is stuck,
then the others must wait for that team member to answer.
4. You will receive
1 point for each common response. Highly creative or humorous
responses will receive 5 points. This will be a subjective decision
of the judges, and the judges' decision is final.
5. Your challenge is
to respond to this question: How would your life be different
or what couldn't you do if your hands were always covered by
mittens? For example, you might say, "I couldn't play the
violin." (Repeat number 5, "Your challenge is…")
