Example Scenarios
All groups start trading. Number off ships. Students must walk. Distances
between countries do not have to be the same.
After 1 minute
All ships on water experience a storm. Stay still for 1 minute.
After 1 minute
All ships on land cannot leave because the wind currents are not
favorable. Stay there for 1 minute.
After 2 minutes
Ship # 1 loses half of their cargo due to a fire on board ship.
Stay for 2 minutes to repair damage.
After 1 minute
Ship # 3 can go immediately to their next destination because
of favorable wind currents.
Could also break things up by paces instead of minutes (sort of like red
light, green light).
