Bubble Wrap Painting: We also did some bubble wrap painting. We worked in a small group and covered the whole table with bubble wrap. We painted the bubble wrap with brushes and then made imprints by pressing a piece of paper onto the bubbles.Of course, we also had fun popping the bubbles.
Scooter Board Relay : We partnered with a friend and first filled a cup with dyed water and then placed it onto our scooter board. The scooter board had a rope attached and we had to work together to transport the filled cup from one end of the course to to the other. The objective was not to spill the cup (so we had to go slow rather than race). At the end of the course, we filled the water into a bottle. The game continued until the bottle was filled. We later added glitter and trinkets to the bottle and turned it into a treasure bottle.
At a first glance, this game seems to be pretty straightforward but it addresses many different skills:
- Negotiating and compromising with a peer: Who fills the cup? Who can pour the cup into the bottle first?
- Impulse control: The team needs to find the perfect pace so the cup will not fall off the board.
- Cooperative Play: Pulling the rope at the same time in the same direction, checking in with the partner.
