TRUST WALK

                Trust is very important when we live with others. In last ppd session we did this game names “Trust Walk”.

                          Two members per group and one partner of each team had to guide. The blindfolded person to a certain point to complete the task. The partner was blindfolded by using serviette. We had to guide blindfolded partner through the front of the lecture hall to the outside. There were so many obstacles  in the middle path.

                                        We had a carefully guide his/her through the path. We enjoyed this activity and also we took turns and did the activity again.

These things are really important when we live in the society.

We learned,

•    How to overcome obstacles by taking the right decision.
•   How we should trust other people according to the situation.
•   How work collaboratively with other people.
  
  

STAND ON THE PAPER

                   This is another very interesting game. The game is simple. But it is challenging and really enjoyable.

                  Basically this game is all about managing the space we have and stand each member of the team on the paper.When the game goes on, paper will be teared to exactly the half of the previous size. The team who successful in many rounds or in other words the team who stand on the paper for longer time will be the winners.

Rules

1.   At least one leg of each member should be in the paper area.
2.   Teams can use any method.
3.   After each round ,size of the paper will be minimized in to the half of the size compare to the previous round.
4.   Each team will get the same duration of time. If a team unsuccessful after the given time they will eliminate from the game.

My Experience
 

                   After the game started our first task was find the correct method to balance ourselves. First round many teams were successful as well as mine. But after the few rounds it was really tough.

In the given time we had to think quickly and execute on our plan. Each member of the team done their best for win the contest.

Things I learnt

• Time management
• Team work
• Decision making
• Balancing my body
• Self confidence
• Quick thinking
  
  

LAVA RIVER GAME

                 This is the one of the best games we had in our PPD sessions.It was very interesting and challenging. We enjoyed it and learnt lot of things from this game.From now I will explain you about this game.

                  As the name suggest in this game you have to cross a lava river. The task is cross the river by using given cardboard tiles. Each member of the team should cross the river and then stand on the other side of the river. The quickest team to do that will be  the winners.

My Experience
 

                 First of all our teacher grouped us.Then she gave us 4 cardboard tiles. The size of a tile is just less than A4 paper.After that she marked the brinks of the river. Then she explained the rules.

      Rules

1.   If anyone touch the lava river when the game goes, he/she will eliminate from the game.   Eliminated player can't support his/her team from anyhow.  
2.   When positioning a tile it should be in contact with a members body. You can't throw that and then touch that.
3.   Members can go across the river finite number of time.
4.   The team who cross the river in least time are the winners. 

                   After the game started first we had to find a right method to use. We tried few different methods but we failed. We only managed to go half of the distance and then we were unable to continue. But finally we managed to find a most suitable and accurate method and executed on that. We were successful. But unfortunately we ended the game as the runners up.

Things I learnt

•  Team play
•  Quick decision making
•  Problem solving
•  Time management
•  Accurate communication

PAPER TOWER

     

                Another pleasant experience from the PPD session.first our teacher Miss.Sarasi devided us in to 3 groups. She gave us 12 A4 sheets,pair of scissors,a sello-tape and challenge to built a big paper tower from given papers within 45 minutes.

The following would be checked,

        *longest tower

        *firmness tower

        *straightness of the tower

   First of all we needed to imagine the structure of our tower. All of the members in our group presented their own ideas.We selected the best structure and started to build it all together.Then we rolled the papers like cones and pasted them one by one.When we were building the middle part of the tower , we faced a major problem.When tower's height is increasing,the straightness and strength went down. Even though we continued to build the tower it was not steady it can't stand without any support. So we had to find the way to solve this problem. When the time up somehow we managed to built the tower successfully. 

   At the end of this session Miss.Sarasi showed us our good things and faults. Specially she pointed out that our creativity is not at the best when comparing to other teams.

  

 After this great activity we learned ,

• making decision
• how to respect other's opinions
• leadership
• importance of the plan
• creativity

              The paper tower session is important of develop our personal development skills and it was enjoyable and great activity.
