Dinosaur Egg Rescue

Jon Mokotupu —

A collaborative game that encouraged positive Interactions and support. Each team member is able to give appropriate support, praise, and encouragement in ways that motivate their team-mates and help team cohesion.

In Ōtākaro, the students were set the task of saving the new dinosaur eggs as they had fallen out of the nest and rolled away. "We need to save them before the mammals find the eggs and eat them."

This game sets the problem of how to move a ‘Dinosaur egg’ using only the equipment at hand. They can't touch the egg as the mother dinosaur will notice their scent and reject the eggs.  It is a cooperative game that requires teams to problem-solve and work together.  Take a look at how they manage the task together!
