a daily diary of one ordinary mom...

A little of this and a little of that is what you will find on this blog. I am a mother and educator so I have a few opinions I would like to share. I work in instructional technology and have tips you can use every day at home or in the classroom. Don't be surprised by postings of random thoughts...they are guaranteed to happen. Enjoy!

Team Building? Try this...

The Human Knot
From Carl Spruill , spruills@bellsouth.net

Warm teams up with the "human knot". Tell team to stand in a circle facing each other. Reach across with your right hand and grab the right hand of someone who is not standing right beside you. Reach across with your left hand and grasp the left hand of another team member but not of the same person whose right hand you are holding (confused yet?). Tell the team, "You are now in a human knot. Your challenge is to untangle yourselves by stepping over or over someone else without letting go of hands." This takes lots of teamwork and cooperation and also gets both sides of the brain thinking. Kid's love it!

For a little twist, do not allow any talking.
