Team building
8th Grade Page
When our class went to Yosemite there were many occasions in which we needed to use teamwork. In our hiking groups, we did some activities to build teamwork with each other. One activity we did was a "hot lava" game. In this game, we where given eleven pieces of cardboard to use as stepping stones so that we wouldn't touch the hot lava underneath us. The object of the game to get all the eleven people from the hiking group from one side of the lava to the other. This game required lots of teamwork because we had to make a plan on how to complete the task. Although we had to try many different ways of approaching it, we finally got to the other side in the end. One memory I have doing this was, I remember that at one point our naturalist started to pick up stepping stones that weren't being used so there weren't for everyone to  have their own. So a couple of people in our group carried the person standing next to them. It was so funny to see, and we had a really fun time doing the activity and working together.
