The Tale
A very long time ago in China, so the story goes, a man named Tan dropped
a square tile on the floor. It broke into seven pieces. Tan tried to put the pieces together again. But instead of a square,
the pieces are fitted together in the shape of birds, sailboats, houses, animals, people...almost anything. Tan had so
much fun making patterns with the seven pieces that he soon forgot why he wanted a square tile in the first place.
There you have it. This became the idea behind the MONSTERTangram initiative.
The Tool
The Tangram works well to build rapport, develop team relationship and open
channels of communication. The Tangram is made of durable fire-red Plexiglas. At a price of $305.00, the set comes complete
with activity plans, technical support and its own Fiberstok carrying case.
