This morning MYP and a crew of youth-leadership folks headed over to the Scheels Center at Oak Grove to teach 110 - 6th, 7th, and 8th graders the importance of developmental assets!
The morning began with a bustling game called "the hovda."
It goes something like this:
mingle, mingle, mingle
then a number is called out and everyone has to scramble and form groups to complete a certain action. for example, number 5 is a merry-go-round with one person standing in the center and four other people holding hands and circling the "pivot" person!
The opening games were a blast!
Next, we broke into small groups and rotated through several asset building stations. The collage above is from a station where the students explored their personal history by cutting out images that represented significant happenings in their lives.
Other stations included asset bingo, team-building by trying to fit into a 3'x4' square taped on the floor, relaxation and reflection, and human machine construction!
All in all, the morning was a gigantic asset building fest!
More pictures to come!
