A scavenger hunt can be a great team building activity, but could also tear a team apart. Teams should use their strengths and weaknesses to reach the final goal of finishing in first place. In order to be successful, a group should be aware of the amount of time they are given to complete the task; doing so will depend on how well a team communicates and uses their resources. In our case, our success was fully contributed to our time management, use of technology, leadership, and communication skills; if given the opportunity to conduct the scavenger hunt again, there are a few changes we would make. Our team excelled in many different areas in order to make sure we used our time efficiently. We made sure that we all showed up to class promptly. …show more content…
Our team decided to accomplish the tasks that involved items we knew about first and skipped over the objectives we didn't know. This caused our team to run back and forth between opposite sides of campus. For example, we were unsure of where the Arlitt Playscape was so we chose to complete that task last. Another example was when we didn’t know where the only 19th century building on campus was located. We continued on to the life-sized Taft statue and realized that we had passed the 19th century building, Van Wormer Hall. Our group was then forced to walk back across campus to get our picture in front of the hall. Although this approach hindered us, it was effective in the fact that we finished the other items on the list quickly. If we were given the chance to do the scavenger hunt again, we would be sure to plan out where the tasks are and the order in which we want to complete …show more content…
This would include keeping an upperclassman as a part of our team. We feel that the upperclassmen was able to guide our team in the right direction as we went around campus, as well as be a knowledgeable tool to our team concerning where specific buildings were. We would still use technology to ask other students, through call or text message, for answers because this proved to be beneficial to our team. Lastly, we would be sure that each member of our team showed up five minutes early to class. Leaving early allowed us to get a head start on the tasks. We would urge teams who are completing this scavenger hunt next semester to map out all of the objectives first, be aware of the time allotted, and make sure everyone’s voice is
The FBLA scavenger hunt was a fun activity that we did in FBLA to kick off the start of the school year. This scavenger hunt was just like a regular one, except with a slight twist. You had to take a selfie with the person/place or thing that was on the list. There were about 20-30 people at Legion Park where the scavenger hunt took place at 7:00 pm. We all got into groups of three to four and had a blast while hunting down the twenty things to take selfies with. The top two teams got candy as prizes for finishing the fastest. The team including Taylor Peterson, Kade Reiman, Tessa Hannaford, and Addison Gyrha managed to finish the quickest with another team seconds behind them. The second place team was composed of Yusuf Khan, Gage Armstrong,
9. What is the policy on Late Assignments? (Please answer for your program if it has specific requirements.)
Anxious and excited, the eighth graders could not wait to step off the big yellow bus onto the soccer field of Pine Lake Challenge Course in Bristol, Connecticut. Working in small groups of eleven, students were faced with many different types of challenges that required teamwork. As a team, I believe most of our challenges were completed as best as they could be. This retreat gave me a wider view of how it really is like to work together.
Auburndale High School is creating an extraordinary environment that inspires greatness in our student athletes through the leadership and support of the coaching staff, training facilities, and proper equipment within our interscholastic programs. We strive to empower our students with the values of respect and accountability through the participation in State Championship level athletic programs while experiencing the value of ethical teamwork and sportsmanship.
One of the more important skills students will learn outside the classroom is teamwork. This quality can not be taught it must be learned by experience. Members will be on teams to compete in competitions. Students must learn the limits and strengths of their team member if they wish to succeed. This skill prepares students for the team work assignments which will be required in classes, as well as in everyday
The first person to fill in all of their squares without repeating a name wins. Tell students to raise their paper and call out if they think they have won. 7. Give students time to complete their scavenger hunt. Walk around the classroom while students are engaged to make sure everyone is playing fairly and nobody is running. Call time when a student has announced they have finished and have students quietly freeze where they are standing while you check the possible winning sheet. If the student is mistaken, have the class resume the activity. If not, ask students to return to their seats. 8. Discuss the scavenger hunt with students. Who learned something new about their classmates? What did they learn? Why was it important to use good listening skills during the scavenger hunt? Why was it important to use good speaking skills? 9. If time allows, students can practice their reading and listening skills online with interactive stories at this Web site http://www.alfy.com/Storyville 10. 11. Evaluation: 12.
Above all, the point of G.I.S.H.W.H.E.S. is to inspire and influence people to get creative! Some things from the 2012 list that teams had to find, or create, were as follows: “Find an object that was manufactured the day and year you were born in the city or town of your birth. Get your team name and "GISHWHES" on a billboard. Must include commercial-looking graphics, and be on an actual commercial billboard at least 100 square feet in area. Hand in coats you've collected from your home, friends, and neighbors to a local homeless shelter. Get an orchestra in a symphony hall with at
I have been continuing with the word scavenger hunt and it appears to be successful with the clients. Each week I have been finding more and more of them joining in. Even the ones that wish not to participate at first will join in once it starts. The secret sentences get slightly longer each week to accommodate the growing number of participants. I usually feel a slight anxiety before I start the game, wondering if it would be successful, but now after five tries, I have no doubt in its success.
Having played a variety of team sports throughout my life, I saw a lot of parallels throughout the class work on team building between positive teamwork and success. Reading Five Dysfunctions of a Team and then applying what we learned from the reading into several team building exercise gave me a unique perspective on how to create and identify key team building skills.
They worked as a better team, not just playing basketball but, to improve their academic scores as
You’d think with all the different clicks of people, being one class would almost be impossible, but I truly saw a miracle happen my senior year. Everyone was friends with everyone, we all went to the games, we sat in the rain, braved the storms, and took defeat together. This taught me so much about the people around me. There was so much more to the students I had previously thought I knew; and to find out all we had to do was loose a few state championships. After every state championship we lost you could still feel the pride within the student body, we would stay and cheer until our athletes came off the fields. We also made it a point to make sure they knew we believed they were champions to us.
We have a scavenger hunt that will going on from September 8th to October 7th with the Living & Learning students (We’re hoping for ~250 students). We will have prizes like gift cards for the leading team each week, plus cards for the leading teams at the end of the hunt. On Friday the 9th, will be hosting an event called judgment day, where the teams will compete in goofy activities like moving marbles with chopsticks. We will be using an application called Scavify. I believe by following this link would have some good information: https://scavify.com/university-programs-student-engagement
It is difficult for me to describe my four years at Wilmington High School in a way that brings it to life on paper; however, I feel I can best explain my purpose throughout high school with one quote. Thomas Edison, the very successful American inventor, once said, “There is no substitute for hard work.” During my high school experience, I have spent my time working hard rather than searching hard for a shortcut. There is truly no shortcut to success. If I had not joined the sports or clubs I had, my life would have been easier, but not successful. My grades may have been less of a challenge to maintain if I neglected extracurriculars. However, without my sports and clubs, I would not have been taught the meaning of teamwork and dedication
