Awards Tip
As we are reaching the midpoint in the Fall Semester, all of us are knee deep in school work and, naturally, service. A good thing to be doing right now to prepare for awards is to read over the packet (on our website!) to make sure that you are centering your activities around awards that you might want to win. Maybe you have a fundraiser coming up that you can tweak to fit a specific criterion for awards! Keeping this in mind is handy when you are looking to get some recognition for all the hard work you do! Shelby Munyan Georgia District Awards Chair
Icebreaker Tip Icebreakers are meant to bring your group closer together. A favorite for the district board, that almost everyone has played at some point, is called the Human Knot.
GEORGIA CIRCLE K-ERS REPRESENTING AT THE KEY CLUB GEORGIA LEADERSHIP TRAINING CONFERENCE
To play the Human Knot, you get an even number of people (it does NOT work with an odd number, we tried and things got weird). Gather everyone in a circle and have them grab one (1) hand of the person directly across from them. Next have them grab someone else’s hand. Make sure they are not directly next to each other or you won’t be able to untangle properly. Then, the group must work to untangle the knot of hands without releasing anyone’s hand*. The goal is to have everyone untangled and in one large circle, holding hands with one another.
Try it at your next meeting or with a random group of friends. You would be surprised how close you get to the other players, figuratively and literally…things can get kind of personal while playing. *Please make sure that you readjust hands as needed...we don’t need anyone hurting themselves during an icebreaker.
