This is fun to play on the video, but it would be even more fun if you got out painters tape and played in real life!
(This activity comes from natbanting.com) To begin, watch this video and play along: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W01ERM18FtSsWJI9VEdUMevOJDyQRPyN/view If you want to play at home, get out painters tape, or use chalk on the garage floor or sidewalk. Make a 3x3 grid big enough for a person to stand in each box. It will help if you can color code the grid like a checkerboard and number each box. (The numbering is for your "David Copperfield" to tell you which box to remove without looking at what box you are standing in). David Copperfield gave you a choice of what box to start on, told you how many squares to move each time, and then removed a square from the grid. If we were at the school, the teacher in charge of the station would do that without watching you move around the grid (they would turn around so that their back is to you). Someone at home will have to take that role this time. For them to know how to do this, they will need to read the following document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14SyKvIwliNTst7YBRlV-vy6X8KntQOrc/view Play the game several times. (Tip: when you are "removing" boxes, put a stuffed animal or paper plate in the square so that the person cannot stand in it anymore). Your Goal: Figure out how it works. When you think you know, switch roles and you be David Copperfield. If you have it figured out, try making a bigger grid and see if the rules stay the same or change. Have fun! Let me know how it goes!
