Crowdsourcing

Working together to make big things happen

Directions:

1) Divide into groups of 4, 5, or 6.

2) Grab your deck of playing cards and dump it into a bag, bucket, or even a loose pocket that you can make with the bottom of your shirt.

3) Shake the cards until they’re all mixed up.

4) Dump the cards out onto a table or desk where the whole group can see them.

5) Decide how to break up the task of sorting the deck so that every person has something to do and no one is doing too much.

6) Time yourself sorting the cards. Can you figure out a way to do it faster?

7) Repeat the game over and over until you think you have found the fastest way of crowdsourcing the card sorting activity.
