THE BARTER PUZZLE

                 This is another very challenging activity that we done in our PPD sessions. This is more like Jigsaw puzzle game. But in here there is more additional rules for make the game too hard because this will play as teams. 

What is Barter Puzzle Game?

                As I said this is a team game. Before the game start each team will get a piece of a newspaper. Then all the teams get same amount of time to read the newspaper and to identify special characters and pictures in the page. After that each newspaper piece will be teared into tiny pieces. And some of those pieces will be mixed with the pieces of other teams. Then each team can get their teared pieces of the newspaper back to start the game. The goal is create the newspaper piece as it was before. The fastest team to do that will be the winners.

Rules

• As I mentioned above some pieces will be mixed around in other groups. But It's up to the team to come up with a way to get those pieces back either through negotiating, trading, exchanging team members, etc. Whatever they decide to do, they must decide as a group.
• Each team will be given same set amount of time.

The way we done that

                  First of all we started to match the pieces as we can and create the puzzle as possible.After several minutes we identified missing pieces of our puzzle and some of our members searched those missing pieces in other groups.In that period other members continued completing the puzzle. Then we discussed about the way we should get our missing pieces back.Each member presented their ideas and finally all the members agreed to one method. Making the puzzle was very tough. Somehow after the hard effect we managed to complete our puzzle.
