 Getting to know each other

  •  Seating challenge #2:
    Complete this challenge in complete silence: Remain silent for the entire activity. Do not talk or whisper after you enter the room!
    In the room, line up in order by height.
    Then take your seats with the shortest person in Seat 1.
    Do not skip seats.
    When the class is seated, the student in Seat 12 raises his or her hand, and when called on reports that the class is ready.
