In Class today we learned alot. It has been a skill building class and teamwork themed week that I know will be carried onto next week.
The first warm up game we played didn't really work. We don't know the name of it and I don't know if people just didn't understand or didn't want to understand it. Either way this gangster game didn't work.
Instead we played chicken, conquer, and knight. Everyone seemed more interested in that game. I and some other person (still learning names) won the first round. The second round however I got kicked out earlier. However we all enjoyed it as far as I could tell.
After the ice breaker games we played a game called circle of trust. Everyone I could tell felt a little awkward but as the game went we tried to hold ourselves up together and everyone got happy when we ended up beating the record of 2:45min. We made it to 3:20min. People are becoming more comfortable with each other and I think as we play more of these type games we will all become closer as a class.
At the end we played around of Freeze. Very few people were interested in going up though it seemed. I think every though we trust each other people are getting simple stage fright. They are worried that people are going to think they are idiots or something. I think however if I keep trying to play and show I'm not afraid to be silly then maybe they'll lighten up a bit and want to join in. At the same time though we should have students help lead the example so another reason they'd want to play it. I hope they get more comfortable soon!
