Pair Programming Game
  

...RULES: Get two developers in front of the same machine and give one of them a red hat to wear and another a green hat. Mr Red's role is to write a small unit-test that fails.

Mrs Green's intention is to do just enough work to make the test pass at which point the keyboard is passed back over to Mr Red. Repeat cycle... [Joe's Jelly]
