Year 5 - Session 1 - Week 2

🐑🐕Sheepdogs Begin to Emerge 🐑🐕

As our heroes continue getting to know one another and work through beginning disagreements, they were introduced to the process for conflict resolution. Sheepdogs naturally emerged as our week when on by leading teambuilders, offering choices, asking questions and supporting emotionally and socially the new relationships originating.

Blog committee applications were introduced for those heroes that would like to apply. There are several positions including: editor, photographer, typist, questioner, publisher.

We had some exciting Team Builders where heroes had to work together to figure out how to complete a challenge.

  • Flip a towel challenge - They had to stand on a towel and flip it over without touching the floor or any other furniture.

  • Marker challenge -Teams of 4 each tied 4 strings to their dry erase marker. Then each person on the team held a string and together had to draw a picture or write a word on their dry erase board.

  • Show Me Don’t Show Me - Halle led this fun active game where you had to act out things she announced like - playing baseball with a hurt leg, walking through jello, operating a jackhammer.

And, if you didn’t hear….
