Welcome Back!
We will start the day with an 'Egg Drop Challenge'! Students will work in groups to problem solve and to build something to protect their egg from a drop , so that it doesn't break!
Examples:
Here is how they turned out!
This one broke 😢
I think that's a very successful challenge 😄
We then made 'Flipbooks' about our summer adventures! We tried making our own with just cut paper, I think sticky notes would have worked better!
We will finish off the day with some Team Challenges
We started with an obstacle called 'Lava', each team was given two pieces of cardboard and stood on one side of the hallway. They had to figure out how to get everyone across to the other side. They couldn't throw the boards, they could only pass them and only two people were allowed on each board. (Hint: Someone had to go back each time to get another team member). If someone fell off or they couldn't reach the board/pass it, they had to go back to the start!
Next was a good old fashioned 'Cup Race', the students faced off against each other and used chopsticks to get as many small pieces from a central bowl into their own cup, in under 1 min!
Last was a 'Pipe Cleaner Bracelet', students had to get the loop shaped cereal pieces onto the pipe cleaner with only one hand!
It was great to see students encouraging each other and cheering for their teams, I heard a few "Good try" said to team members even when they didn't win that match!
I look forward to more team building and team activities like these, this semester!
