Abstract

Completing a jigsaw puzzle can be a fun activity, but it can also be a learning experience. Here an exercise is presented that involves student teams completing a simple puzzle while at least one of the members is blindfolded. The blindfolded member is the only member allowed to touch the puzzle pieces, and the other team members have to communicate how to put the puzzle together to the blindfolded member. The activity has often been used to introduce a broad spectrum of management topics on the first day of class. It may also be used to highlight specific topics such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, and creativity. The activity requires little set-up and preparation for the instructor and students participating. Debriefing questions are included.
