MakingConnectio

ns

Say your name and give a piece of information about yourself that is not obvious and then put your hand on your hip. If someone else has that in common with you they place their arm in yours, say their name and something about themselves and repeat. The idea is to make a complete circle.

We all have something in common, if we focus on these we can make a cohesive group

reason – it is quick and efficient

Group Juggle

Same game-ish different agenda

Look at process, efficiency, refining strategy

BallsHandout

15mins

Points to cover:Focus on how when a team works well, we each have a role and if

we focus on perfecting our role everything else falls into place. Also focus on personal juggling in the written reflection and then why it is so important to separate students lives from the classroom. A 5 min game at the start of class could do that.

Have you ever?

Leader stands in the middle and asks “Have you ever…?” (They must have done it themselves!) If the answer is yes participants leave their place high 5 in the middle and try and find a new place. If you are left without a place you are the next to ask “have you ever?”

A chance to disclose (or not) raises trust among the group allows participants to see what they have in common.

Backwriting

Sit in a line. Person at the front of the line comes up to see a diagram. Without saying anything they draw the diagram on the back of the person at the back of the line. They then draw it on the person in front of them. The person at the front of the line draws it on a piece of paper. No talking, no redraws. Compare diagrams.

Story Telling

in Rounds

Without any practice or planning and against the clock (say 2 minutes) the group is challenged to tell the story of the last activity in rounds. Each person may say only one word (or punctuation mark) when it is their turn.

This is a fun communication exercise requiring a lot of concentration.
