The Inventioneers are the FLL World Champions!

Hi everyone!

We are so excited to share our latest news - on Saturday, April 17, 2010, the Inventioneers became the FLL World Champions! It is a dream come true for our team! Our robot was awesome on the competition tables scoring perfect 400's in three out of four rounds and when speed was the goal, our robot scored a perfect 400 in 91 seconds - faster than any other robot at the competition!


We'll be sharing more at our other blog: www.TheInventioneersOnTheRoad.blogspot.com
over the next few days. It's been so busy and exciting and exhausting that we just haven't had time to post anything.

We want to thank all of our supporters and our sponsors - thank you for believing in us!!!!

Teambuilding with Games

The Costume Relay Game

Supplies:
Two sets of funny costume pieces like hats, scarves, capes, over sized shirts, baggie pants, gloves, etc.

Game set up:
Make a starting line and 30 feet away make another line. Divide the costumes into 2 equal piles at the starting line.

Playing the game:
Divide the people into 2 equal teams. Each team begins at the starting line behind a costume pile. The first person from each team quickly puts on all the costumes in his pile, runs to the other line, runs back to the starting line, and takes off the costumes. The next person on his team does the same thing until everyone on the team has a turn. The team that finishes first is the winner.

This is a fun teamwork game or play it with teams you mentor.
