Obstacle course

Last time we got together and designed a obstacle. Actually first we broke into two teams and did 3 little games to acquire points so that we could purchase different equipment/ components of our odstacle course. I liked how the leaders incorperated this into their activity to make it more diverse. We had to perform as individualy (to acquire points) and as a team (to make the course). Next we got together to put it together. Actually half of us did while a few did their own thing. In my opinion the groups were too big and was difficult to bring together. I even found myself doing this (social loafing) when the others were organizing everything. Although it worked out in the end, I didn't like the mal-communication. I don't think it's necesarily the leaders' faults, we all were just I don't know what the word is. But in the end it was fun to see everyone perform the obstacle course. We are a very creative class! Oh, and also I liked when the leaders picked a few people that couldn't talk for part of the activity because it added adversity and gave others a chance to come forward and lead.

I also liked that they made some of us not talk. I made us all work alittle harder and get closer as a team.
