komala aunty - 8 to 13 yrs - 4 Aug- Co-opertion

Todays Session was all about listening . Role of listening in co-operation.
Played a game in which we made a musical concert with different sounds from
our hands in teams without talking to each other. The object was for each
group to get itself coordinated into something that sounds good without
talking to the other member of the group. In order to accomplish this they
had to listen to what each other is doing and adjust accordingly. Was fun
and few groups really liked doing it . They were trying to rope in everyone
. Later we had to make a kindness tree through co-operation which will
yield fruits of different strengths which can be picked by children or
given to children . Everyone had to work together to build up that tree.
The children initially could not get everyones co-operation. They took a
step back decided who is doing what and how and then went ahead and did it .
They were really thrilled to write their experiences in their journals .
