Kami 1 1 0 – Paper Folding Puzzle Game Rules

broken image


Team building activities are activities that help teams improve their ability to work together on a variety of tasks by giving them a chance to practice in a situation where the stakes are low. They can be icebreakers for new teams, and allow teams to isolate specific skills and work on them, such as problem-solving.

Puzzle Game Makes Folding Paper So Dang Satisfying. Kami 2 is the follow up to State of Play's Kami. Both are puzzle games in which the goal is to fill the screen with one color in a set. KAMI A beautifully simple and utterly elegant puzzle game with a Japanese paper folding theme and gentle, calming soundtrack. Gorgeous and challenging in equal measure. Available on iOS, Steam and Android. State of Play says Kami 2 is scheduled to be released in March 2017, so you don't have long to wait for this new paper-folding puzzle game. Unlike the original, Kami 2 will be free to play.

Cut out the board pieces from the label to make sure that the length matches the size of the game board, with a 0.25-inch margin between pieces to let the board fold easily. For example, if the board is in 4 squares with sides of 7.5 inches, make sure your labels are squares with sides of 7.25 inches to account for the margin. First, figure out if one side of your paper is better for writing (using the 1.0 black ink pen) Put that better-writing side FACE DOWN, and fold the 4 corners in so all together so they touch in the center. This is how the paper will be folded when you write the Sudoku.

We reviewed many team building games, and even talked to experts to find out which ones are best. Then we created instructions, along with illustrations, to help you use them to improve how your team works together. Enjoy!

Team members give out two truths and one lie about themselves, other team members try to figure out which is the lie.

Instructions:

  • Everyone reveals 2-3 things about themselves that are true, and one thing that is a lie.
  • The rest of the group tries to figure out which is which and votes to decide which is the lie.
  • The person telling the lie gets 1 point for each person they fooled.
  • Other players get 1 point for choosing correctly.

2. Life Highlights Game.

Team members describe the 30 seconds of their lives they would relive if it was their last 30 seconds.

Instructions:

  • Each team member spends a few minutes thinking about the best moments of their life.
  • They then focus on the 30 seconds they'd want to relive if they were about to die.
  • Each team member describes the 30 seconds they chose and why.

3. The Classification Game.

Team members divide themselves into subgroups based on personal likes and dislikes.

Instructions:

  • Teams introduce themselves and talk about personal likes and dislikes.
  • Afterward, they divide themselves into subgroups based on their likes and dislikes.
  • Two to three subgroups should work for most teams. Try more if it's a larger group.
  • Subgroups should not be negative or discriminatory.
  • Example subgroups: coffee lovers, runners, gamers, dog lovers, cat lovers.

4. Picture Pieces Game.

Each team member draws or paints a piece of a larger, well-known image, without knowing what the 'big picture' is. They then work together to assemble the complete image.

Instructions:

  • Start with an image of a place, logo, cartoon, or person that everyone will recognize.
  • Cut the picture into equal sized pieces, one for each participant.
  • The pieces should have about the same amount of detail in each section.
  • Give each participant a piece of the image.
  • Ask them to recreate it on a piece of paper or canvas 5, 10 or 20 times larger than the image the original.
  • The larger the paper or canvas, the longer the exercise will take.
  • Supply participants with pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, etc.

Once each team member is finished, they work together to assemble their individual pieces into a recreation of the original image. The final product can be displayed in the office or workspace.

5. Zoom.

Similar to the picture pieces game, but with no drawing or painting skills required. Participants try to put pages of the book Zoom in order.

  • In some versions of this game, the 'zombie' is tied to something in the room with a rope or chain.
  • The chain is given a foot of slack every 5 minutes.
  • The rest of the participants try solving a series of puzzles or riddles.
  • Goal is to solve the puzzles before the zombie reaches them.

As someone who doesn't wish to be tied or chained to anything, I suggest marking one-foot boundaries in the room that the zombie's territory expands into every 5 minutes. This can be done with masking tape, for example.

7. Battle of the Airbands.

Teams work to act out/lip sync the song of their choice.

Instructions:

13. Toxic Waste or Bomb Removal.

Team members work together to try and move 'toxic waste' safely with a limited set of simple tools.

Instructions:

  • Gather 1 small bucket, 1 large bucket, 1 rope, 1 bungee cord loop, 8 bungee cords, 8 tennis balls.
  • Use the rope to make an 8-10 foot circle that represents the radiation zone.
  • Fill the small bucket with the tennis balls and place it in the center of the circle for your toxic waste.
  • Set the large bucket 30 feet from the toxic waste zone.
  • Give them a time limit of 15-20 minutes.
  • Tell them spilling the bucket results in the 'death' of the entire team.
  • Tell them dropping individual balls results in 'death' of the nearest player.
  • Explain that when the bucket is removed from the radiation zone, players must maintain their distance.

How to win toxic waste:

One way for players to win is to attach the bungee cords to the bungee loop, then hold and pull the cords, stretching the loop and guiding it over the toxic waste bucket. Lower the stretched loop over the bucket, then contract the loop so it grips the bucket. Finally, tighten the loop, lift the bucket and walk it over to the large bucket. Dump the balls in the bucket.

14. Company Coat of Arms.

Teams create a coat of arms that reflect their perception of the company.

Instructions:Supply your team with paper or canvas and art supplies (markers, colored pencils, etc) to make their company coat of arms.

If you're unfamiliar, a coat of arms is a shield with symbols on it that represent different aspects of a family, place or organization. They typically come with a motto as well. Wikipedia has a great entry with an example here.

There are a number of different ways to complete the activity once the coat of arms has been created, from hanging it in the office to having teams present their versions of the company coat of arms to each other, and even having different teams try to interpret each other's coat of arms.

15. Campfire or Memory Wall.

Team members write about, draw a picture, or share a photo of a positive memory from work that matches a topic.The basic idea of this activity is to get employees to share positive memories about the workplace.

  • Have them write about, draw or provide a picture of a positive memory from work that goes with the topic.
  • All of these are then displayed together as part of a memory wall.

16. Frostbite.

There are several versions of this game. The main variable is which materials the teams are given to build their shelter with. The shelters can be built from small objects, such as pieces of paper, toothpicks and paper clips, or participants can assemble an actual tent or other pre-fabricated structure.

Instructions:

  • Each team chooses a leader.
  • The leader has 'frostbite' and cannot physically help assemble the shelter. The rest of the team has 'snow blindness,' and has been blindfolded. The leader must give instructions to the team so that they can successfully build a shelter without the benefit of sight.

Each team is given their materials for building the shelter and 15 - 20 minutes.

17. Minefield.

They'll have to find the balance between performance and complexity.

20. Dare Jenga!

Jenga, but with a twist. There's a dare written on each block. This game isn't just for college keg parties!

Instructions:

  • Give your team very simple instructions, such as, 'You have 20 minutes to complete your puzzles' and offer no further guidance.

The teams will have to work together to figure out what happened with their puzzles, and how best to get the pieces distributed correctly.You can add another twist by making it competitive, i.e. first team to complete their puzzle wins, and see how that changes the game.Alternately, you can give them all pieces of the same puzzle.

25. Show and Tell.

It's likely that you haven't done this one in a while. Everyone gets to bring an item from home and explain it to their team.

Instructions:

  • Participants bring an item from home and present it to the rest of the group.
  • That's it. You may want to set a 15 minute timer.
