Start by explaining that the wind has blown down the lights - the BS have to run to the centre of the room and collect pictures of things they would need to repair the lights (have pages taken out of catalogues showing hammers, screw drivers, light bulbs etc) - give them say 2 minutes. Then they have to say why they selected those items.
