Mutation Game

Place a plate of candy or beads in the center of the room.

Each team of students has a nest (a paper cup or plate).  Each team also has a means of picking up their food - forks or spoons.  But, each team also has a mutation - missing fork tongs, bent handles, extra large or small size, etc.  You may wish to leave one team un-mutated, for the sake of comparison.

During the course of the game, students on each team take turns making trips to the food supply to bring food back to the nest.  The goal is to get as much food back to the nest as possible before time runs out.  Any food that falls to the ground is out and can no longer be used.
