Here at Lightning Storm headquarters, we have been working on our teamwork tactics. Each of us are just bursting with creative ideas. (That's how we got our name!) But we can't use all of them all of the time. How do we decide?
We had a parent come in to help us get practice to work together. When we did this, at first shouted out our ideas. Then we learned that we need a process leader. A process leader does what they can to help the group. Here is what the process leader does: 1.They ask you questions, 2.They help you decide what to make ,3.How to use it.
Our team did group activities to help us work together to do team building activities for the competition. One of the activities was we had to take a piece of rope and untie it without untying the knot. We started pulling and tugging on both ends. Our leader stopped us and taught us how to untie it. Then, we did it correctly and got it.
Another activity we did was this tennis ball thing. We had to get the tennis ball passed around in the circle as quick as we could. After we got it down to one second to do it, our leader said, "Still too slow!" He said that we could do it in than less than half a second. We finally did it in 0.49 seconds and we all celebrated.
The last activity we did was the easiest one. We were asked to make a useful kitchen item out of the box of extra legos. Luckily we found the oven/stove (which was one of last year's pieces for the missions from the board). We made up a commercial for it too. It's specialties are that you can cook food under a minute and it can also flick a ball for a dog to play fetch!
We had such a great time during our team building session
that we scheduled more!
