Come back as a group to share images and play again.

Then divide students into four groups and ask them to create images for liquid, solid, element, and compound. Ask students what are the states of matter? Collectively create an image for gas. Our new images will be related to matter. Ask what makes a good image in this game (two people on the outside doing similar thing, something three people can do that doesn’t hit neighbors, etc.). Once students have learned the regular version of the game, tell them we are now going to create some new images. If caller just says “Bop” the player must say nothing.

Bippity, bippity, bop: When the caller says “Bippity, bippity bop” the player pointed to must say “Bop” before the caller does.

“Donkey:” The leader can also point to a player and call “Donkey,“ which simply means to freeze in place.

Elephant: The player pointed to makes a long trunk with one arm, while other players form ears in a “C” shape on either side. Possible shapes include: Toaster: The player pointed to jumps up and down in place (the bread), while other players hold hands across his/her front and back to make the toaster. For example, if the leader calls “Elephant,” the player pointed to makes a long trunk with one arm, while the peoples on either side each form an ear in a “C” shape.

That player, plus the two players on either side of him or her, rushes to make the shape before the leader counts to three. A shape: The leader points to a player and calls a shape.The leader points to a player and calls out a shape or a direction.

Overall, not perfect, but certainly interesting.Players stand in a circle with the leader in the center. This is slightly misleading, because if enough new elements were to be discovered there would be another row in that section. Ultimately, he placed them where the lanthanides and actinides are found instead. Furthermore, there are no "sporadic" elements, if you will, so he had to handle the sporadic simple groups. You'll also notice that they have larger orders so it he included fewer of them on the table. Andrus considered the non-classical groups to not be as important and therefore he made fewer rows of them.Ī lot of this was done to better match the look of the real periodic table. This very same logic appears in the arrangement of the sporadic groups, where, for instance, all the Mathieu groups are together despite this causing orders to skip around a bit. He also made sure, importantly, that similar families would be next to each other. Andrus' very general rule is to put smaller groups to the left. The way the table works is that in each column the groups increase in size going down. Some of the columns ought to be shuffled around, but it's a good effort and useful for a working group theorist. Obviously this chart is far from perfect, it's not even fundamentally mathematical, but I've seen worse ways of presenting CFSG. It was written in LaTeX with TikZ, and based on the work of another person, Ivan Griffin interestingly enough. He originally intended to make it for his father who had a hard time understanding group theory. If anyone is wondering, this chart was made by Ivan Andrus about 8 years ago.
