Ask the children to find a different partner
*
Decide on different things to find out for each station -
Ask a child to work with someone else - to switch the partners
*
Introduce a fourth station - to increase the scale of the problem*
Specify that only one member of a group can talk - to restrict the resources -
Reduce the number to one of each request at each station - to reduce the possible options
-
