This past week was a good one! We started off class with an obstacle course which was really hard! Kaylene was my partner, the blindfolded one, and I was the one who could see. Even with the advantage of sight the course was hard. It took us the whole time just to get through once. It was a great example of how important communication is for a group. When reflecting on the activity we saw that it took all the skills that were key to a successful group to make it work. Connecting the dots between the lesson and activities is a really good way to learn.
Once Thao and Darcy took the floor we did another good group activity (I think we may have cheated). We all had to stand on a blanket and without moving our feet we had to flip it over. Had we not been able to sit down and lean against the tables and marker board I don't think we could have accomplished it, but we had some good leadership to help us figure it out.
We finished the night with a game of pictionary. I started out with spring break and ended up with an alien. It was a great game to play in such a big group. Looking at the pictures and seeing what went wrong and when was the best part about it. The game was another great way of showing how important communication and clear understanding is for a group to be successful. Over all this was my favorite class for icebreakers; it was very interactive and the lessons were brought close to home.
