Our sixth grade students took their Outdoor Education Field Trip yesterday. It includes a trip to the aquarium, canoeing, archery and the every popular zipline.
One of the great components of the trip is within the "trust" exercises. Students work within teams. As they are given scenarios to solve, they must work as a team and they are encouraged to think "out of the box."
How do you guide your team over a bed of lava?
How do you get your team through a portal? Who do you send first? Who do you send last? How do they all get through safe?
If there is a fire in the factory and the only way out is over the meat grinder (fortunately the blades were out for repair) how do you get everyone through?
Or how do you get everyone over a wall?
How do you balance your team on a raft without tipping?
Or how do you get every member of your team through a different section of a spider's web without touching the side?
It all takes teamwork.
