Game to offer as ice breaker/bell ringer #277

How could the content be improved?

Good morning, I maintain LC-OpenRefine and enjoy teaching the earliest lessons (shell, tidy, computational thinking). I wonder about using a shell game (or browser-based emulator like) MIT's Terminus, http://web.mit.edu/mprat/Public/web/Terminus/Web/main.html, as described by NYU_Shanghai's Christian Grewell (former colleague), https://medium.com/applab/app-lab-programming-lab-1-5f5459709c72.

I'm opening this issue to also see if anyone else knows of a game I stumbled across once but can no longer find: To learn hierarchical folder structure and command-line interface, the first folder is fridge, then mkdir for three numbered drawers. Then in each drawer mkdir for different items (veg, fruit, cheeses). Then copy to and remove to sort like-with-like drawers.

It's an exercise, but also a bit fun and hopefully internationally relatable.
