Duplicate - Body Position Communication Challenge
Groups of four use a gym mat held vertically as a barrier between two students who cannot see each other. One person creates a body shape/position, and two mat-holders must describe it precisely so the person on the other side can duplicate the position exactly without seeing it. Tests systematic description, precise body position language, and collaborative communication.
