Mr. Grossman's Public Speaking class is preparing for their demonstration speeches by participating in the "Lego Challenge." One member of each group (the Manager) uses the directions to instruct the other members of the group (the Builders) to build a specific Lego set. The Builders cannot look at the directions. and the Manager cannot touch the pieces. This exercise helps them strengthen their ability to work in a team by fostering skills like communication, collaboration, and teamwork!
