TELECOMMUNICATIONS GAME Teams of 9 or 10 ideally. Taking turns, groups come to the front of the room and are handed out a card with either a Point of Contact, Transfer Station, or Medium on it (face down). At the start, a type of call is shown on the board (ex. cell phone to cell phone), and participants turn over their card and then assemble the group in the order in which the call must be made. The group is timed on their arrangement, and the times are added to give the team their final score. Each cardholder may use their card more than once (ex. being the cell phone on both ends of the call line).

TELECOMMUNICATIONS GAME 10 seconds is added for each incorrect step in the call line assembly. In a random round, talking will be disallowed. 5 second penalty for speaking.
