Today was our first challenge! Students were put in groups of 4. Each group was given 4 plastic cups and one rubber band that had 4 pieces of string tied to it. The challenge.... stack the 4 cups without touching the cups OR talking!!! Oh my!!! After a few minutes we stopped and discussed what they had noticed. Students quickly complained that it wasn't working because they couldn't talk and therefore didn't know what others in their group were going to do. So, I sent them back with their group to try it again. This time they could talk. Working and communicating together sure made a difference!
Sofia said she enjoyed learning other ways to communicate without talking. This is a great exercise!
