Puzzle Game 2
Task 2: Play three other puzzle games with others
Time: 10 minutes
Equipment: Body Puzzle pieces printed, cut out, and laminated.
Keep it in an envelope (or a Ziplock bag) and store it in your Game Box.
Method:
Put the main body on the wall (Full A4 lamination around the cut-out body). Place the body parts in a bag. Meerkat take a body part at random out of the bag. This is challenging but manageable, the Meerkats do know where to place the foot if there is no leg. Once all the body parts have been added, the burrow can go together and adjust the pieces and draw a smile on to signal they are finished.
Ask the Duty Lookout to pack the Puzzle pieces back in their folder.
