    And maybe add a time constraint. If I get to the end of my speech and say "thank you" before they've flown them, I win and they lose :)

        @avantgame What if you gave a visual cue (ie. touching your ear)? It'd keep them more focused on you. Also is this for Miami's freshman?

        @avantgame Maybe the students couldn't verbally communicate a cue either - everything would have to be orchestrated through body language?

        @avantgame ...2nd page has folding instructions and game rules, also sez 'tell a neighbor'. Your talk never references the game...

        @avantgame misdirection and subterfuge. 2-page handout, first page full of text, but top line sez 'read 2nd page 1st'. 2nd ... instructions

        @avantgame Along those lines: give them a heads up that at some point in your talk you will quote, eg, Buffy. Buffy quote = game over.

        @avantgame put up some targets on stage (hula hoops). Have a helper use a click counter. 500+ they win.

        @avantgame they just need to pay attention and anticipate the first flight. Who would be first?! Seems like a fun game to me!

        @avantgame the key to me so to be the difference between "in the air" and "launch". As soon as one plane launches, others simply follow.

        @avantgame "Trigger word" is easy/forced. Should be 1 person's choice to move the group. Define criteria - "You are youngets/birthday/Neo.."

        @avantgame or maybe the winner is the 1st one to hazard to throw their plane? Would be interesting if the leader effect caused all to do so

        @avantgame So if it's during your speech and I were them, I think I'd settle on a word you're likely to say as a cue, like 'game'
