We had been doing a bit of work over 2 or 3 weeks looking at problem solving strategies so they had a bit of a framework to help them. The activity itself took about an hour, with a few "time outs" so they could "chat with the coach" to clarify the game plan. I like to let them charge in and attack a problem with blind enthusiasm before I stop them to sit down and reflect. We learn a lot by what doesn't work - helps us understand the difference between the available strategies. With older kids I wouldn't intervene so much until they got to the end and then we would look to see if their solution made any sense.
