Virtual Group Juggle is an excellent way to address the concept of multitasking, focus and planning ahead. In this no-prop activity, the group must stay focused and on task to find success.

In the following module you will learn how to properly set-up and facilitate the activity and then if you wish, move students through an academic and/or social skills development reflection experience.
