Recently, in thanks for my sharing here at the FUNdoing blog, my good friend and fellow team building activity developer, Jim Cain, shared with me some of the Word Circle Puzzles he has created. Jim said I could share them with you as well. (Be sure to head over to Jim's WEBSITE and check out his "Downloadable" page - some great free resources.)

If you are new to Word Circle Puzzles HERE is a link to one of my first blog posts about them - along with a couple puzzles. (Little Known Secret: If you click on the picture at the Silent Word Circle Puzzles post it enlarges to reveal five more puzzles.) I've posted a number of Word Circle Puzzle sets over the years - use the Search tool here at the blog site to find more. Type in Word Circle Puzzles and you're off. AND, once you get hooked be sure to download the first Picture Word Circle Puzzle set - taking the puzzles to the next level. 

Here's the basic idea (if you need the gist). Using index cards and a marker, write each word of a set on a different index card. After mixing up the index cards hand them out to your group and ask them to put the words (cards) together so each one connects to the card before it and the card after it in a meaningful way. (Be sure you have the answers to the puzzles handy.)

For example, here's what can work - a compound word, a common term or phrase, or two known words, with their own meaning, that go together to make a new word and meaning. Like DOG and HOUSE each has its own meaning - putting them together into DOGHOUSE changes the two words into another word and meaning. In the end the words can be laid out (or held up by players) into a circle with no beginning or ending - it becomes a Word Circle. 

Here are 10 Word Circle Puzzles from Jim in correct order:
(Shorter puzzles are good to use as examples when groups are learning about them.)

• Switch, Yard, Light...
• Man, Power, Line...
• Book, Mobile, Phone...
• Board, Foot, Ball, Game, Over...
• Office, Party, Time, Out, Post...
• Time, Travel, Log, Book, Shelf, Life...
• River, Bank, Note, Book, Mark, Down...
• Game, Over, Time, Out, Field, Goal, Post...
• Street, Light, Post, Game, Day, Time, Out, Side...
• Race, Car, Seat, Belt, Buckle, Up, River, Rat... 

Here are four longer puzzles with the words mixed up in case you want to play a bit. The answers are below so don't scroll down too fast.

11 Words: BOOK, TRAVEL, POOL, SETTING, TIME, SMART, GUIDE, DOWN, CAR, PLAY, TABLE...

14 Words: KEY, DOOR, LUNCH, PLAY, LIGHTNING, MAN, TIME, CHAIN, POWER, STORM, BREAK, OFF, FRONT, DOWN...

20 Words: SHELF, SEAT, FENCE, ROAD, WEATHER, OVER, TAKE, GUARD, WAY, POST, BACK, WARMER, BOOK, CHANNEL, TIME, GAME, OFF, LIFE, GUIDE, OUT...

​21 Words: WEEK, WASH, BREAK, SOFA, YARD, PACE, STORE, SPRING, NOTE, WORK, CAR, SLEEPER, BOOK, DAY, TEAM, FAST, DREAM, END, LIGHT, FRONT, BED... 

PRINT-N-PLAY BONUS: I have put together the four sets of Word Circle Puzzles above (11, 14, 20, & 21 Word Puzzles) into a print-n-play PDF - just print, cut out the words (or laminate first, then cut), and you're ready to play.

I've been reconnected to the ZOOM activity since I've been working for an outings company here in Texas (Group Dynamix - Carrollton Texas). ZOOM is a "straight up" verbal communication challenge - the only way to succeed is to share information through talking. (A while back I posted What's Missing? using the Qwirkle Game pieces - same behaviors needed for this one.) I want to share the basics here at my blog for easy access to those who want to get started. There are at least a half-dozen ways I know of to lead ZOOM. (Michelle Cummings and I co-wrote the ZOOM activity for my most recent book, Portable Teambuilding Activities - there are several presentation variations included.)

The Basic ZOOM Lead Once you know how many participants you will have for the activity - let's say 18. Choose 18 sequential pages from the set (choosing 18 random pages from the set can make it a bit more challenging). Hand out a page to every person in your group and ask them not to show their picture to anyone else. In other words, when I get my picture/page I am the only one that can see it. Then, I say something like this: 

The pictures you are all holding connect together in a linear order - there is a beginning and an end to the sequence. Your challenge is to arrange the pictures into the correct order by only verbally describing the picture you have in your hand. You must keep your picture in hand and you are not allowed to trade your picture with anyone. In the end, you all need to position yourselfs in a circle formation. One person will ultimately be holding the first picture of the set and someone will be holding the last picture in the set. The rest of you will be in sequential order in between the two. When you all believe you are in the correct sequential order we will reveal (turn around) all the pictures to see how you did. 

There you have it. The basics. Players can move around and they can use any words to describe the picure they have. I don't let my groups use outside resources (e.g., smart phones "I didn't show them MY picture"). When you play with up to 24 (or more people) it can take a good 45 minutes - so, be ready. This one's very challenging. 

Note: There is also a second helping - Re-Zoom. This (book) sequence of pictures is MUCH tougher to solve with only verbal communication. When I want to give a group some "help" before presenting ZOOM in the traditional way, I start with Re-Zoom. However, the players are able to show their pictures to each other and then get into sequential order. This "practice" gives the group an idea of how pictues fit together and the complexity involved. This step takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the number of pictures. But, what I've found is that it cuts the solution time to ZOOM in half. 

A ZOOM Variation My Friend Scott Goldsmith recently shared a presentation to ZOOM (that he told me he learned from Steve Ockerbloom) that I have yet to try - but looking forward to. 

Each person can look at his/her picture/page then put it face down somewhere in the area.  Then, players go out and discuss what they remember about their picture with other people in the group for a predetermined period of time (say 5 minutes - could be more if you think it's needed). After the 5 minutes, everyone can go look at his/her picture/page again for 1 minutes. Then, they all go back out to talk again (for another 5 minutes).

Finally, everyone can look at their picture a 3rd time (for 1 mimute). After this third look players keep hold of their page but cannot look at it again. Participants come back together to openly discuss one more time then put the pictures/pages face down in the order they believe is correct - there will be a first and last picture/page and all the rest in between. The reveal is one card (starting with the first card) at at a time. "It's awesome!!! Best variation I have seen," says Scott.

I'm sure more versions of ZOOM will find there way to FUNdoing. So, go get your ZOOM, give it a try, and be ready for more. Let us know how it goes. Leave a comment below. 

All the best,

At the most recent AEE conference someone asked if I've ever created a Word Circle Puzzle set using only pictures. I had to say no, but acepted the challenge! (I can't remember who asked the quesiton, but I do want to say THANK YOU for the idea). 

So, here it is friends. As far as I know, this (PDF Print-N-Play below) is the first Picture Word Circle Puzzle Set. Now, you will notice some pictures are pretty straight forward (like the ones in the header picture above), others will lend themselves to more subjectivitiy. I'm assuming the picture versions of WC Puzzles will have a bit more challenge to them. With this in mind you will find eight Help Cards included with the set your group can use for assistance if needed. 

Full disclosure. I have yet to try out the set with a group (I intended to the other day but my group wasn't ready for the challenge). Let's test them out together. 

If you have no idea what I'm talking about (new to Wird Circle Puzzels?) you'll need to do a little homework. Here are two blog posts - one HERE and another HERE - that should give you the idea. The puzzles in these posts are traditionally made up of words that connect together to form a circle. 

Here it is. The first Picture Word Circle Puzzle Set:

Triplets Too Here’s a puzzle challenge I learned from the Thiagi  Group newsletter (see the complete details HERE). Thiagi is very (very) well known for creating activity simulations to enhance learning experiences for corporate populations (the claim is, to stay sharp, he creates at least one new simulation a day!!). If you follow the link above you will see how he uses Triplets as a way to enhance a particular educational concept (As he states in the description of Triplets, “When you have solved all the triplets, make a word out of the first letters of the link words to discover the secret of effective training.) FUN stuff!
 
As many of you know, I can’t leave well enough alone. So I came up with a way to get more hands on the Triplets (and make it a bit more challenging as well). Attached (below) you will find a set of eight Print-N-Play Triplets (24 Words) – the Triplets are in the fancy print. The last page of the document includes the “Link Words” (8 Words) for each of the Triplets (I suggest you read Thiagi’s excellent description of Triplet play for a better understanding of this puzzle challenge).
 
Basically, one of the link words will connect (either before of after) with three of the other words in the set (hence, Triplets). Look at the Triplets in the header graphic above. Can you figure out what word goes with each of the Triplet sets? (Find the answers in the Print-N-Play document.)
 
Here’s how I’ve used my set of Triplets Too so far:

Moderate Challenge: Hand out the Triplet words evenly among your group of 10 to 14 players. Then hand out the link words – one each to eight different players (these players  can also be holding Triplet words). Ask the group to match the link words to each set of Triplets without any player ever being without a word in his/her possession. Also, I don’t let my group set down the words – all words have to stay in hands.
 
Tough Challenge: Only hand out the Triplet words. Have the group determine what Triplet words go together and what link word goes with each set of Triplets. Again, all words must stay in hands and everyone must have at least one word in hand at all times.
 
In Program Challenge: The group earns (in some way) the link words during program challenges – maybe they earn them all, maybe not. Then, at some point the group receives the Triplet words. They have ten minutes to put the Triplet sets together with a link word. Every correct set earns the group a “Pass” or “Redo” or “Mulligan” to use in future challenges. (For example, if someone touches the Spider Web on the way through the group can use one of their passes to void the touches.)

Here's the Print-N-Play document: 

 
Let me know what other ways you come up with to use the Triplets. And, of course, share your Triplet sets with me and I’ll pass them along to the FUN Followers.
 
Have FUN out there!!

Here are a few puzzles to add to your collection. Or, your "Table of Torture" as Sam Sikes likes to call his collection of puzzles. Sam puts out his puzzles on a table for his participants to tackle before his program starts (the "soft" start) and during program breaks. In a programming sense, puzzles can provide another level of challenge and they also bring people together during down times (and of course they are fun to solve!). 

I've been using puzzles more and more lately with some of the (respectfully) competitive programs I've been leading for Group Dynamix (I'm one of their contract facilitators - we run Team Olympix events for groups that want a more competitive experience). Puzzles are a nice complement to the more physical challenges - reaching different learning styles or "kinds of smarts." 

 Scramble Cards This Puzzling post was inspired by my last post - Name Card Scramble. After saving the cards from a few programs I realized I had a great set of puzzle cards (some of my participants were even able to anagram their name - so cool!). On the back of each scrambled name card I wrote the "name-answer" using a yellow highlighter so it would not be easily seen through the front of the card. A group working together (or an individual) can self check their guess/answer by flipping the card over. Score each correct answer OR time how long it takes to guess all the scrambled names - add five seconds to the overall time for each incorrect answer. Here's a little list for you to work with if you want to make a quick set of (index) cards to try out (spoiler alert - answers are below): 

1. Warned
2. Kyceb
3. Hrsic 
4. Bybed
5. Nave
6. Krafn
7. Riagoeg
8. Theehar 
9. Vani
10. Fienjern
11. Nivke
12. Araul

 (How long did it take you to recognize the pattern? What name were you on when it clicked?)
(Answers: 1. Andrew, 2. Becky, 3. Chris, 4. Debby, 5. Evan, 6. Frank, 7. Georgia, 8. Heather, 9. Ivan, 10. Jennifer, 11. Kevin, 12. Laura) 

The "T" Puzzle If you are a Tangram fan (and haven't seen this one), you'll like the T. It's easy to make (paper or wood) but tricky to solve. And, like Tangrams, you can create a bunch of other shapes/images with the pieces. I like to give points (e.g., 50) to my groups for solving the "T" and then (e.g., 10) points for each of the shapes they can solve from the (self-scored) handout I provide. Here's a GREAT PDF from WoodPuzzles.com that includes a nice handout. (If you search "T Puzzle" in Google Images there are a few patterns you can download for cutting assistance.) 

Word Games and Puzzles by Joan Acosta (from bestofthereader.ca). I've been getting some great milage from this PDF BOOK. Easy to print and laminate the pages. Provide  some small tipped dry-erase markers so participants can write in answers on the page - self score or make a quick check before giving a score. Wipe off the answers from the pages so you can reuse the puzzles for another program. 

Have fun out there!

What are you favorite puzzles? Share in the comments below.....

Jeremy uses a free online QR Code generator (here's the one I use) and goes to Dictionary.com to put in his words for the puzzle. Once a word is defined Jeremy copies the URL for that word and pastes it into the generator. When a QR Code is generated he has a document template for Avery printable business cards set up - he copies and then pastes one QR Code per business card and then prints out the page when it's full. You could easily make cards in a Word document like I do - I can get about eight rectangle images on one page. From there I can drop in a word, or now a QR Code, into each rectangle and print them out after I make a set of cards. 

Jeremy did warn us to label our QR Code puzzle card sets in some way so that if we make a number of different QR Code sets you know which cards go together. In the picture above you see Jeremy has outlined the QR Codes in green. With a little effort you too can produce a very interesting puzzle challenge that brings tech and face-to-face together! 

Here are some new Word Circle Puzzles for your team building adventures. (I've mixed them up of course so you can figure them out on your own if desired (write out each word on an index card so you can shuffle them around to solve), The answers are included after the puzzles.

Years ago I was working with a training company that used an activity called "Colourblind" (see activity details here) with their corporate programs. After leading the activity I wanted to have one for myself (very clever, well designed activity) - however, it was a bit out of my price range (actually still is - but some day!!). 

When I ran into the table-top game Qwirkle I found a tool that could be used to work on a few of the behaviors emphasized in Colourblind (still, Colourblind is a powerful tool for working through communication skills and assumptions - get it if you can). 

The game of Qwirkle (a great game, in and of itself, by the way! - comes in family size and travel size) is made up of small black squares with three sets of six different shapes and six different colors of each shape. 

Needs & Numbers: You will need one set of colored shapes from a Qwirkle game (the picture to the left is a set). Plays well with 12-34. 

Directions: Place all 36 pieces of one set shape-down on top of a table (or setting them out on the floor works out as well). You (the facilitator) pick up two pieces off the table - be sure the group sees you pick up the pieces, but make sure they don't see the colors of shapes. Than ask each person to pick up one piece  without letting anyone else see what they picked up. If there are extra pieces, ask for volunteers to pick up one more piece. (I have yet to play this with more than two pieces per player.) 

Challenge: Once everyone has at least one game piece and understands they are not to show their shape and color to anyone else, their challenge is to tell you the color and shape of each of the two pieces you picked up. They are allowed to say anything they want about their pieces, but, again, they can't show anyone what they have. Okay, you are ready to go. 

Variations: 

• If you are playing with smaller groups you can initially take out six pieces of the same color or six of the same shape. If you need to take out more, the next removal would be five of the same shape or five of the same color. (The "set" will not remain in tact taking out random pieces.) 
  
• Don't allow the players to move around during the activity - they must remain in the place they are standing once the game begins. 
  
• After everyone has one piece, place all the extras off to the side, shape down. Limit the number of times the group (one person) can view the extra pieces. Or, maybe each person in the group can go to view one of the pieces once. 
  

What's Missing? is a great lead into ZOOM, if you know the activity. (My official write-up of ZOOM will be in my upcoming book, Portable Teambuilding Activities, out this Spring - 2105. Keep an eye on the Books page here at FUNdoing).

Let us know how What's Missing? works for you. And, if you find a fun way to present the challenge please let us know in the comments below. 

All the best, 

Chris Cavert

If you are new to Word Circle Puzzles you can get the gist of play at one of my previous posts - click here. And then be sure to check out the Puzzles Category for other Word Circle Puzzle installments. 

Presentation Idea: I tried a new way to present the Word Circle Puzzles at a recent training. I put down a whole bunch of game spots in a big circle formation that included one spot for everyone in the group (at the training I have 22 people) and I also included three extra spots. In other words, when all the participants in the training each stood on a spot there were three left open (placement of open spots does not matter). 

After everyone was comfortably standing on a spot I went around and gave everyone at least one word card from a 25-card set - three people were given two word cards. Here are the rules I gave: 

• Each person must have at least one word card in his or her hand at all times - cards can be exchanged as long as this rule is followed. 
• One person can move at a time to an open spot - players are not allowed to exchange spots.
• Players are allowed to show their card(s) and speak freely during the activity. 
• You are allowed to ask two questions of the facilitator during the activity - other than "What is the answer to the puzzle?" 
• You have 15 minutes to complete as much of the puzzle as you can. 

I thought this presentation version was actually pretty interactive. (Of course you are free to change or adapt any of the rules to meet your goals.) Players standing next to each other worked in small groups brainstorming ideas but then had to address the large group when movement took place. Do let me know how this one works out for you. 


Here are the next half-dozen puzzles - words mixed up - for your adventures (spoiler alert - the answers are at the bottom of the post. So, if you want to play first to see if you can solve the puzzles don't read down too far):

10 Words: PARK, DOWN, LITTER, DRAFT, BALL, MARK, COPY, BASKET, BENCH, CAT...

14 Words: FIGHT, CATCH, FAST, SHINE, FAIR, HOLD, ALL, FOOD, SEASON, BOOK, UP, TICKET, OUT, OFF...

Keeping with my portable and versatile activity theme, here’s some puzzling FUN with the eight letters PLAY TIME. (The picture above is a computer generated set of letters. You can also just write the letters out on eight index cards.) Make multiple sets of PLAY TIME cards for multiple-group play - a little respectful competition is a good thing.

Okay, once you have the eight letter cards ready, puzzle away.

A. Pick and arrange cards to spell the five-letter words that fit these clues:

1. A kind if tree

2. Enough

3. Without any contents

4. A Southern European country

5. Subtly suggest

6. Pants crease

7. Coin material

8. ______-mouthed (wishy-washy)

9. A flower part

10. Having a lot of substance

11. Hair braid

12. A dish




B. Spell these common first names for people:

1. Four (or up to 12) three-letter names (twelve are listed in the answers below.)

2. Two common names that together use all eight cards.




C. Spell the four-letter words that fit these clues:

1. Send out

2. Small news note

3. Device that gives light

4. Brewery grain

5. That which is sent by post

6. Companion

7. Horse-race distance

8. Part of the hand

16. Sports group

17. Hobbling

18. It's set by a printer

19. An Ivy League university

20. Puppy's cry

21. Heap

22. Ashen

23. Thaw

24. A green fruit
