Blueprint
Materials Required:
- A set of discs or blocks in varying sizes (e.g., wooden discs, plastic rings)
- Three vertical poles or rods (e.g., wooden poles, metal rods)
- Designated play area or surface for setting up the Tower of Hanoi
- Optional: Timer or stopwatch for introducing time constraints
Pre-Activity Briefing:
- Explain the objectives and rules of the Tower of Hanoi activity
- Demonstrate the initial setup and the desired final configuration
- Outline the rules for moving the discs (e.g., only one disc can be moved at a time, larger discs cannot be placed on top of smaller discs)
- Emphasize the importance of teamwork, communication, and strategic planning
Team Formation and Planning:
- Divide participants into teams (if not pre-assigned)
- Allow teams time to develop strategies and assign roles (e.g., decision-makers, executors)
- Encourage teams to discuss and plan their approach to solving the puzzle
Tower of Hanoi Challenge:
- Set up the initial configuration of the Tower of Hanoi for each team
- Teams begin executing their strategies, moving the discs from one pole to another
- Encourage teams to communicate, collaborate, and make strategic decisions
- Facilitate discussions and provide guidance or hints as needed
