Friday the World History classes got stranded on the Deserted Island. This activity forces the class to work together to form a functioning government from scratch.
Bismarck hit the nail right on the head. Despite a dash of noise and a pinch if chaos, the students got a lot out of this exercise and got a terrific introduction to our unit on government.

Bismarck also said, "The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood." I hope your class went with speeches and majority decisions.
It was touch and go for a few minutes, but I was very impressed with the resolve of some of the students to accomplish the goals in the face of adversity.
