Whether this qualifies as 'exciting' or not is probably a moot point,
but anyway... I use pizzas. ("Pizzas and Parentheses", to be exact...;-)
I have to add that I use them virtually rather than actually, but knock
yourself out...
Gives you all sorts of options to play with - from simple pizza AND ham
[doesn't give you every kinda pizza, doesn't give you everything made of
ham, gives you a ham pizza...] versus pizza OR ham, through to a spot of
nested searching and discussion of default operator order - e.g. pizza
AND (pepperoni OR chicken) versus pizza AND pepperoni OR chicken.
It might be stretching a point a bit and isn't particularly purist in
concept if you look too closely, but it might be a bit different.

Subject: Training games/exercises re AND/OR
Can anyone share with me their exciting exercises or games to get this
concept over. I am having a bad spell of not getting the concept over in
group sessions. Something quick and fun to do with a group would be very
useful.
I will share ideas if any arrive with permission to share
Jane
