Written reflection: Team challenges
Summary of task
For the first three lessons of the year, students worked in small groups to complete a number of challenges that required teamwork, decision-making, problem-solving, and movement skills to be successful. This series of lessons focused on building social relationships and working collaboratively. The challenges completed were a cup stack activity, helium stick activity, river crossing activity, stepping stones activity and toxic waste activity.
Each challenge had a reflection sheet with questions that students had to reflect on and answer as a group. These became a code of cooperation and set the scene for a positive year ahead. Students also identified a goal that they chose to work on to further develop their group/team skills.
Students were asked to complete reflection questions about how these activities improved their own and others' health and wellbeing.
This assessment task relates to the focus areas: active play and minor games, and relationships and sexuality.
