=Sudoku=

Description of Event:
Students will work together to complete a sudoku puzzle.

Decisions to Make / Questions to Ask:

 * In room 428, there may be four large-format sudoku puzzles. Pieces may be missing.
 * Alternatively, students could complete a paper version of the puzzle.

List of items needed (status indicated in parentheses):

 * Copies of puzzle (done by Mrs. Pessy after completion of answer key)
 * Extra writing utensils (can also be donated by Mrs. Pessy)

First Draft of Event Directions:
This twist on the popular game of Sudoku will use the letters V, A, L, C, O, N, R, E and S (instead of digits 1-9). The goal is still to fill the empty cells so that each row, column and 3x3 cell box contains one of each letter. When finished, students will have their puzzle checked by the facilitator in order to receive their next clue.

A completed puzzle.

What happens if the players can't complete it successfully?
Groups can be given the next clue if they cannot complete the task after either 3 attempts or 10 minutes.
