Dear Savita,
Greetings!
1. APPOINTMENTS
Give everybody a few minutes to make 3 appointments - 3 pm,6 pm and 9 pm. After that have everyone stand in a circle.When you shout "3 pm", everybody meets their 3 pm appointment and find out 1, 2 or 3 things about each other. After a short while shout, "6 pm" and then "9 pm". After that have people share what they find out about each other.This game can be used for introduction where people introduce other people, instead of themselves.
2. ATLAS
Arrange everyone in a circle. Someone say the name of any country, city, river, ocean or mountain that could be found in an atlas. The person next to him must then say another name that begins with the last alphabet of the word that has been given.
Example: First person : Auckland
Second person : Denver
Third person : Rotorua
Each person has a definite time limit (e.g. 3 seconds) and no name can be repeated.
3. BALLOON BLOW-UP
Have everyone pairs up and give each person a balloon. Each pair designates a left and a right person. The partners stand facing each other about six inches apart. When you call "left", the "left" person blows into his balloon. Give him a few seconds, then call "right", the right person then blows into his balloon. Do this repeatedly. The idea is to literally "blow-up" the balloon in the partner's face before he can blow up his.
4. BALLOONS IN THE AIR
Give everyone an inflated balloon. The balloons should be in different colours or with identifiable marks on them. Everyone tosses his balloon in the air and tries to keep it in the air as long as possible. In the meanwhile, he must try to get everyone else's balloons to touch the floor. When a person's balloon touches the floor, he is out. The person who keeps his balloon in the air the longest, wins.
CLEANING THE MIRROR: This is a light exercise to demonstrate the aspects of leading and following. It is quite useful as an evening exercise.
Aim of the exercise :-
1. Since the facilitator must build good relations with his group, it is important that the participants are able to understand and carry out their functions as facilitators, when called upon to take up the role.
2. To fully appreciate the functions and tasks of the members of the group.
Time: 30- 45 mins.
Procedure:
Each person chooses a partner. The pair stand facing each other with hands up a few inches apart. In this position, they imitate the movement of their partner like the reflection in a mirror. He will a be pretending to clean the mirror. They will be taking turns to lead and follow, according to their own timing.
In a second round, they touch one another’s hands lightly. In a third round they press their hands together hard, continuing to take turns in leading and following.
In the general session that follows, the participants discuss the following questions :
· How were the 3 experiences different from each other about leading and following?
· How did you feel during each experience about leading and following?
· What similarities do you find in the relationship between leader and follower in everyday life?
The facilitator will take up the results of the observations, experiences and the impressions of the participants. From these he will describe the work, function and behaviour of a good facilitator, bearing in mind that the facilitator must work together with the people, not have them under him.
Discussion questions:
1. Did you attempt to simplify your movements when cleaning the mirror?
2. What was the reason if you simplified/ not simplified?
3. Did you try as hard as you could to copy the movements when you were the reflection?
4. Did you find it hard to be the reflection? why?
5. How did you feel if you say your reflection copied your movements incorrectly? Did you reprimand him?\
6. Which was the easiest – to be the cleaner/ or the reflection? Why?
7. Did you realize that while you were cleaning the mirror, you have become the facilitator?
8. While you were cleaning the mirror did you think of your reflection?
9. …and so on.
BUILD ON WHAT YOU HAVE GOT :The aim of this exercise is to look at problems of cooperation and communication. This can be great fun, and is good for an evening activity.
Procedure:
Beforehand, the facilitator, helped by some participants, can collect boxes of rubbish, old pieces of cloth, coloured paper, sticks, stones, bottles, etc. Each box should have 15 or more items, and each box will be different from the others. There should be one box for every 5 or 6 participants.
a. The facilitator will first explain that one of the difficulties in development is putting cooperation into practice. Rather than having an abstract discussion on cooperation, we will try to cooperate in practice!
b. The participants are divided into groups of only 5-6 people, each group standing before a table. Each group gets a box.
c. Instructions are then given by the facilitator:
i. The task of each group is to build something that has meaning. It can be a symbol or something real.
ii. The groups must wok in silence. The members can not communicate with one another by speech or by writing notes to each other. They have to find other ways communicating with each other.
iii. They can bring 3 things from outside the box to add to their creation, if they want to.
iv. A prize can be offered for the most creative and clear thing.
d. Once these instructions are given and understood by the participants, the facilitator will give the signal to start work.
e. After 15 minits, he will stop the exercise.
f. Everyone will be asked to go around and look at each thing that has been built, seeing if they can recognize what it is.
g. Vote by clapping – no group can clap for its own production. Loudest claps will get the prize.
Discussion questions:
1. What helped cooperation in your group?
2. What hindered cooperation in your group?
3. Were there times when you felt frustrated? Why?
4. What could the group have done to help you work better in the group?
5. What have you learnt about cooperation ?
6. Do these things also happen in real life? How?
7. What ways can these difficulties be overcome?
