Circles of

Influence

Goal:Maximize points by putting pieces in your hoop. Each colored foam piece is worth 100 points and each coin is worth 1000.

Each team has its own types of pieces that create their score:Hoop #1 needs blue, purple and coin resourcesHoop #2 needs red, green, and coin resourcesHoop #3 needs blue, purple, green and red resources.

The rules for the activity are:1) Once the center hoop is empty, any of the other hoops may be assessed.2) The pieces must be carried, one at a time, to the hoops.3) Hoops cannot be guarded. (No pushing, blocking, etc.)4) You will have 10 minutes to maximize your scores.5) Pieces that you do not need in your hoop will be removed before scoring results.

The thing always happens that you

really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

- Frank Lloyd Wright
