Great idea. What about just having each of the instructors put different

each pair of students do the same?

I suspect it would work equally well, however, it would only top hats in terms of silly if said stickys were put on their foreheads. I generally find that a carefully judged level of silly increases knowledge retention.
I'm a big +1 for requiring the instructors involved to stick the post-it notes on their foreheads :) As someone also mentioned earlier, we found that having two people "collaborating" naturally lent itself to some fun/silly dialog going on "in the heads" of the people involved.
