8. Survivor Scenarios
We are continuing our list of best problem solving activities for middle school with a game that requires a lot of creative thinking. You create a scenario for children that requires them to think creatively in order to survive. For example, you can come up with a scenario where everyone is on a deserted island and help won’t arrive for three days. They have limited food and water and will need to create a shelter. The class will work together to determine how they’ll survive comfortably.
