Bottle recycling
Your challenge is to say something about the bottles or improvise with them and show ways they could be used.
You have 1 minute to think and discuss the problem, and 5 minutes to give responses. You can talk and ask the judges questions during think time; however, time will continue. You are not allowed to talk to each other during response time.
There are various bottles on the table. You can use as many of them as you wish in your responses.
Your challenge is to say something about the bottles or improvise with them and show ways they could be used.
For example, you might say, “I could put a message in one of them” or you might put a bottle up to your mouth and say “I could use this as a trumpet.”
Before making a response you will place a response token in the container. Each team member may make as many or as few responses as they wish. More than one team member may use the bottle(s) as part of a single response.
You will be finished when response time ends or when you have used all of your response tokens.
