ideas???

I work with MUCH younger students, but find your idea interesting! What if you simply gave them poster boards and an assortment of materials to work with. Give each team a theme or topic that they will need to illustrate
so well that the other teams will be able to guess the theme, or allow the team to come up with a theme (you would monitor to be sure none are repeated). The students will have to work as a team to come up with ideas, etc. You can throw in a planned monkey wrench by not providing enough supplies so that they have to seek supplies from another team. Make that monkey wrench even bigger
by making a rule that they have to "swap" (compromise) with the other team to get what they need (We need glue. They have glue. What do we have that they may need that we can swap?).
Hope this gets some ideas rolling for you! Good Luck!
