The session kicked off with everybody sitting in the circle and telling each other what number we rated our moods (between 1 and 10 - 10 being really great)
Warm Up
As a warm up and team building exercise we had to keep a balloon in the air. By working as a team we had to tap it in the air and on the fifth hit, we had to hit it with anything but our hands. The point of the activity was to show the importance of team work.
Team Exercises
We all stood in a circle and had to pass a beanbag in a sequence. We had to keep eye contact to be able to throw the beanbag to the catcher. More beanbags were added and we had to concentrate and work as a team to keep 4/5 beanbags in the air at all times. This was another team building exercise to emphasis trust within the group.
Planning A Trailer And Advert For Our Play
We split up into two groups to put our ideas together and produce an acted out trailer and an advert for our play. It was challenging, but we all worked together and they both looked great.
Reviewing Our Ideas
We all discussed our ideas and decided that it would be a good idea to merge both together in some way.
The Advert Idea: A boy stabs somebody and his conscience haunts him all the way through, he then has the challenge of telling his mum, who begs him to hand himself in.
The Trailer Idea: A girl has her phone stolen by a boy at a party. She is with her gang and she sees him at a bus stop. Her gang put pressure on her to stab him. We hear her conscience deciding whether she will use the knife or not at the end.
Warm Down:
We all reviewed how we were feeling and generally everybody's numbers had gone up, which meant that we were all feeling a lot more positive.
We all need to bring in our ideas after Christmas to show Tunde how our ideas have progressed.
