Grandma’s footsteps • An ice-breaker game to see what behaviours/action we naturally adopt in a group activity. • Ask for a volunteer to play Grandma. Grandma is to stand at one end of the room with ‘her’ back to the rest of the group. • Everyone else is to creep up on ‘Grandma’, but if she turns round she shouldn’t see you move.
Behaviour cards – complain that things aren’t fair, blames other people, encourages others to cheat, overly competitive
11:45am
Feedback from above activity • As a whole group ask and record: 1. What different behaviour strategies did members adopt? 2. Was all this behaviour what we would expect or encourage?
