Encourage active learning through involvement by getting every participant to play with the metaphor of
transformation and change when they use this clever trick.
How does it work?

Square Wheels One The magic starts with your showing what appears to be a full-page picture of Square Wheels
One and sets up Scott Simmerman's "joke" from the
Square Wheels® PowerPoint Toolkit on Managing and
Leading Change about two caterpillars and a butterfly. That page transforms itself into two Square Wheels
when folded. It is folded again into a question about making choices about change. This then adds the Round
Wheels metaphor and an illustration about becoming a butterfly. It ends in either of two ways, "What the
caterpillar calls the end of the world, god calls a butterfly" or a butterfly-pulled round wheel wagon.
What comes with it?
- Explanation document
- Assembly document
- Masters for pages to print and photocopy (2, 2-sided pages are used)
- Worksheet for choice and change
You'll receive all the pages and instructions needed to do this magic trick and it's fully reproducible
so you can use it again and again. All you need is a glue stick!
AND: You will also have materials to distribute for teaching your participants how to assemble the trick
and practice it with others, a process that involves and engages while allowing them to think about how
the process of transformation occurs.
