Puzzle Barter

4 shiney stars

For this game, you'll need a few jigsaw puzzles of equal difficulty. 

Split people into groups and give each group a jigsaw puzzle. The goal of each group is to assemble the puzzle. But there is a twist - before you hand out the puzzles, mix some of the pieces of each puzzle in with each other group's puzzles, so no team has a complete puzzle. 

Groups must barter or negotiate with each other to obtain the necessary pieces to complete their puzzle. It's a good way for groups to demonstrate negotiation and relational skills.
