Data Processing

Where we learned it: Creative Drama at NU
Ages: 2nd grade and up
Materials: None

Process:

1. Ask the students to stand in a line, shoulder to shoulder.
2. They are all bits of data and they are going to work together to process themselves.
3. Ask the students to rearrange the line so that they are standing in alphabetical order by first name.
4. Ask them to rearrange again in alphabetical order by last name.
5. Ask them to rearrange one last time by birthday (year does not matter).

Variations:

1. Time the students with each round to challenge them to move quickly.
