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.
  
  

THE BARTER PUZZLE

                 This is another very challenging activity that we done in our PPD sessions. This is more like Jigsaw puzzle game. But in here there is more additional rules for make the game too hard because this will play as teams. 

What is Barter Puzzle Game?

                As I said this is a team game. Before the game start each team will get a piece of a newspaper. Then all the teams get same amount of time to read the newspaper and to identify special characters and pictures in the page. After that each newspaper piece will be teared into tiny pieces. And some of those pieces will be mixed with the pieces of other teams. Then each team can get their teared pieces of the newspaper back to start the game. The goal is create the newspaper piece as it was before. The fastest team to do that will be the winners.

Rules

• As I mentioned above some pieces will be mixed around in other groups. But It's up to the team to come up with a way to get those pieces back either through negotiating, trading, exchanging team members, etc. Whatever they decide to do, they must decide as a group.
• Each team will be given same set amount of time.

The way we done that

                  First of all we started to match the pieces as we can and create the puzzle as possible.After several minutes we identified missing pieces of our puzzle and some of our members searched those missing pieces in other groups.In that period other members continued completing the puzzle. Then we discussed about the way we should get our missing pieces back.Each member presented their ideas and finally all the members agreed to one method. Making the puzzle was very tough. Somehow after the hard effect we managed to complete our puzzle.

Things I learnt

•  Leadership skills
• Problem solving
• Time management
• Team work 
• Concentration 

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
