1. Essay writing and EQ test
2. Completing a jigsaw puzzle
3. Discussion. It can be about politics or religion, conducted mostly in English
4. Creating/designing using anything you can find around the area. The creation/design is then presented to the TM officials
5. Role playing. List all the positions available in a business organization (from CEO to Janitor) and have to elaborate your reasons for choosing the position. (You might have to fight for the position, but be gracious!)
6. Other fun activities and games.
