The task: in random groups, given a few mishmash pieces of PE equipment and fifteen minutes, work together to design a game.
It was a sneaky plan by the teachers to have kids experience the trials and tribulations of team work: listening, cooperation, courage, meeting people half way, leadership, and different roles.
Afterwards, we sat down and reflect on the experience. What was challenging? What would we do differently next time?
Some very good learning experiences!
