INTRODUCTION

Odd One Tower is an interesting game that can be played

with many players. This game is adapted from two activities,

which are Odd One Out and building a stable tower, using

spaghetti strands that can hold a marshmallow weight.

Odd One Out is an activity that normally done in a classroom

where players are given a few sets of list. Players are given a

few sets of list and the lists contain words or phrases. Each

set will show different category of words or phrases. The

players need to identify a word or a phrase that does not

belong to the given category.

Participants are positioned around an LCD projector that is

used to project the lists of words or phrases. Behind the LCD

projector, there should be a desk bell that will be rung by any

of the participants who wish to unveil the correct answers.

As for building a tower using spaghetti strands, it is a

challenging activity because the players were given a limited

supply of spaghetti and they have to construct the tallest

tower which can hold the weight of a marshmallow placed on

the top.
