A simple emergent result from altering simple rules - some running around so you'd need a large space, probably outdoors. I've tested it live, it's great fun.

Subject: [SIMSOC] Teaching ABMs: Practical exercise without computers
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any good activities that will help students to learn about agent-based modelling. Usually I would get the students to experiment with a few NetLogo models, but in this case we won't have access to computers.
The group will have just had 30 minutes of me introducing agent-based modelling, so I think a practical example that they can do themselves will be a nice diversion.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
