On Thursday when it was supposed to rain, but only did late in the afternoon, I had planned to get kids moving inside somehow. They have been BEGGING me to have another go at their team building yoga mat game ever since they attempted it last week. So I thought, what better time then now. Anyway- I gave them only a half hour this time, they attempted it 4 times total, and THEY WON! They finished with time to spare. The perfect amount for us to debrief about the entire experience. It was such a great moment when all of the students realize they each have very similar "highs and lows", "what worked, what didn't work", and "what they liked best, what they didn't like". It's amazing how more aware of the "team", and less concerned about themselves, they were the second time around. It's also so great seeing them truly work together, come together as a class, and see the leaders making sure each student had a chance to get around. Overall, a success! I am so very proud of them. Below are some pictures from the beginning, to the "jumping up and down because they finished" end.
