  10. Schedule for the retreat

  11. Explanation and debrief of the activities that are being used at this retreat

  12. Space Bot - one volunteer is blindfolded - all other participants are in a circle around the blindfolded individual  - 1 structure is built and placed away from blindfolded volunteer              - Can be made out of things such as pipes, big legos. Anything that will stay together to form a structure - Matching pieces to the structure are scattered around the blindfolded volunteer

  13. Space bot - The blindfolded volunteer has the privilege to talk as much as they want - All other team members have only a certain number of words each (facilitator's choice) - Goal: to build the exact same structure from the loose, scattered pieces as the previous built one by having the team members instruct the blindfolded volunteer to construct an identical structure in a specific (sometimes flexible) timed period 

  14. Snowflake- • Group breaks into partners • One person has scissors and begins to cut a snowflake • They tell their partner exactly how they cut and let their partner do that on their paper • The goal of this activity to to improve communication between members

  15. Snowflake debrief • After they are finished with this activity we will talk about its importance and discuss these topics. • Did both of your snowflakes turn out the same? • If they did not how are the different • Why are they different • How does this happen in real life • How can you work to avoid miscommunication, or have as little as possible • What happens when there is miscommunication and how will you deal with it?

  16. Group Juggle • The group stands in a circle • One item is tossed around the circle in a pattern • The item will be labeled with an issue their group faces or a positive thing their group has • The item continues to get thrown around in a pattern • More items will be added in and thrown in the same pattern • The object of the game is to balance as many objects as possible

  17. Group Juggle debrief • When they are finished we will discuss- • Was it hard to juggle all the objects • Were any objects dropped and if so what were they • Would you be able to drop an issue in real life • For example what if communication was disregarded how would your group function • How do you plan to balance things out in your group

  18. Apocalypse Library List • Have 5 to 8 volunteers sit at a table or in a circle, with the remainder of the group looking on. The volunteers are given this scenario: • “If mankind were to collapse and by some miracle you were the only survivors, what knowledge contained with three books would you need?” All other books and records have been wiped out. The survivors must all agree on only three books and each survivor who has an idea explains their own choice. The survivors must all agree on the list to rebuild humanity. • The main objectives of this exercise are…… • Allow the remainder of the group to watch other members have a healthy debate • Improve Communication • Teach teams to compromise

  19. Decision Reached so It’s Time to Debrief Now the remaining members of the group take an active role in the discussion. The consultant may start by asking any onlooker How did volunteers handled the decision making? Describe each volunteer figuratively as a part of an airplane. Volunteers may do this as well Which volunteers were more introverted or extroverted? How does an on looker feel about a particular book choice? Did any volunteers exhibit great ideas, explanations or mediation?

  20. Ships and Sailors The facilitator of this game is the Captain who calls out actions and dismisses players who don’t do actions quick enough. Players have until the count of 3 to find groups and perform actions or they are out. • ACTIONS • Captains coming= players stands and salutes, must wait for “At Ease” to move • Ships= players move to the right • Sailors= players move to the left • Man Overboard= one player drops to a knee with another behind, both scan • Crow’s Nest= three players link arms back to back and circle • Mermaid= all players waive with other hand on hip while shouting hey sailors! • Walk the Plank= five players stand in a row with their hands on each back • Mealtime= four players crouch in a circle and pretend to eat

  21. An instructor is coming around with an anonymous survey asking for how you rate this retreat. Please offer any advice, compliments, concerns and comments that you’d like to share. We’re open to suggestions and always developing.

  22. The PSA was having issues communicating effectively, resolving conflict, and showcasing empathy. After traditional name games and energizers, the group focuses on communication. Snowflake is a one on one communication exercise requiring precise description and thorough listening. Successful communication creates two identical snowflakes. Ships and Sailors is a light hearted game works on listening skills and message recognition. The Apocalypse Library List creates group discussion that begins with a few members and expands to entire group.
