Appendix C – Name Games Gimme Five
Set Up. Begin in a circle with one team member in the middle. All members on the outside of the circle will have one hand, flat in front of them. A name is called out from the outside circle, and then the person in the middle tries to slap the hand of that person whose name was called before they call out a new name. If person in the middle slaps the correct hand of the name called before a new name is called by that individual, the middle person takes a place in the circle, and the person with the hand slapped becomes the middle person.
If a person pulls their hand away when their name this is called a DIS. The person who dissed is now in the middle and the game begins again.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships Group Juggle
Set Up. Begin in a circle, not too close, not too far from one another. Explain that you are going to throw a ball to someone - pick someone out & ask their name, then say, "Hi Freddy, my name is James...here you go!" [underarm throw a ball to Freddy]. Freddy then says, "Thank you James", picks someone and says, "Hi Mary, my name is Freddy...here you go!"
[throw]....they say "Thank you, Freddy” and on we go. The challenge from here is simply to get the ball thrown around to everyone in the circle, and finally back to the leader.
Repeat the same pattern of names continuing to say the person who you’re throwing to and “Thank you” to the person who throws to you.
Once the pattern is established group leaders may choose to add more balls into the mix that are passed simultaneously, or offer a challenge to the group to predict how fast they can complete the pattern and then have the group attempt to meet that goal.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
The Adjective Game
Set Up. Each person has the opportunity to share their name, but must also say an adjective that describes them and starts with the same first letter as their name. This simple trick makes it easier to remember each person’s name especially after getting to know them if the descriptive word is on point.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
Appendix D
Similar & Unique
Set Up. While riding in the van challenge participants to find six things that everyone in the van has in common (not physical attributes) and one thing for each person that is unique.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
Debrief Questions. d
Were you surprised by any of these?
How many more similar qualities do you think you can come up with by the end of the trip?
Appendix E Tarp Flip
Set Up. Along the trail, support staff will have a tarp laid out. Without packs participants will be asked to all step onto the tarp. Together they must figure out how to flip it over to the other side without touching the ground outside the tarp surface.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
Debrief Questions. d
What was the most challenging thing about this activity? How did your communication change throughout the activity?
Appendix F
Helium Hula Hoop (aka HHH)
Set Up. After arriving in camp pull out one tent pole. Have members of the group line up on either side of the pole with both index fingers
pointing out. Explain that they have to lower the pole to the ground without losing contact between their finger and the pole. Place the pole on their fingers and ask them to start. (Pole typically starts to rise as people try to maintain contact)
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
Debrief Questions. d
What prevented the group from accomplishing the task?
(If successful) What had to change in order to compete the task?
How do you adapt to changes in your personal life when confronted with personal and interpersonal challenges?
Appendix G
Body Scan Meditation
Set Up. Tents must be set up close enough together that the staff member can be heard. As participants are laying in their sleeping bag the staff member speaking in a soft, relaxing voice encourages participants to focus on their breath as it moves in and out of their body. Starting with the toes and moving section by section up the body, the staff member encourages participants to imagine the breath going into that area of the body and as they release the breath all tension is released from that area of the body. This continues through to the crown of the head. Participants may fall asleep at any point in this exercise.
Objectives. c
Maintaining mental and physical health using mindfulness and meditation
Cultivating stress management and time management techniques
Appendix H Trust Series
Set Up. Staff should model all trust activities prior to asking participants to attempt.
In pairs participants will be asked to clasp hands with their toes about two inches apart. The challenge is to lean back attempting to fully extend arms and balance the weight between the two people without needing to step backwards.
Choosing a different partner the participants should turn back to back and attempt to lower to a sitting position on the ground and then back to standing without the use of their hands.
Choosing another different partner the participants should clasp hands, stretch arms above their heads and begin to slowly walk backwards
continuing to push off each other’s hands. The pairs should do this as far as they are both comfortable. Leaders should be watching for pairs who push their limits and may end up landing on the ground. Spot these pairs.
In a group of three, two participants will be designated as the receiver and one as the leaner. The receivers will take a spotting stance behind the leaner.
To get in a spotter stance the participants should have their feet in a bent knee lunge position with their shoulders square to the leaner. They should have their hands up in front of them placed just off the shoulder blades of the person leaning and their arms should be slightly bent. Their hands should form a ‘W’. The leaner will keep their feet together with their arms folded across their chest. They also need to remain stiff and not bend at the waist. Before executing each lean, a dialogue must be established between the leaner and the receiver:
Leaner: “Ready to lean” Receivers: “Ready to catch” Leaner: “Leaning”
Receivers: “Lean on”
If the leaner does not keep arms crossed, they could hit the receivers.
Objective. Building strong communities and relationships
Debrief Questions. d
Think of a time in your life when your trust in someone was broken. What did it take to begin rebuilding that trust?
Appendix I
Mindful Hiking
Set Up. Ask participants to line up on trail with their eyes closed. In a calm meditative voice ask them to slowly move one leg forward as if to walk, but focusing on the individual muscles required to complete this every day task. Have them take another step as they slowly open their eyes.
Encourage continuing this awareness as they begin to use their site to notice what is around them. Big or small, they should try to take in everything within their surroundings. While slowly moving and building on each person’s sense of awareness ask them to bring attention to what they hear. Finally bring awareness to the smells in the area.
Each new “layer” to become aware of should be “explored” for a couple minutes before moving onto the next.
Objective. Maintaining mental and physical health using mindfulness and meditation
Debrief Questions. d
What did you notice that surprised you?
Where else would you like to bring this level of awareness to in your life?
Appendix J
Solo Experience
Set Up. While backtracking the route back to camp, stop the group about one mile from the destination. Allow participants to complete the return trip by themselves. To do this send one trip staff at the font of the group and space each person following out by about five minutes. Stress that everyone must remain on the trail. If a person gets too close to whoever is in front of them, they simply slow down. If someone decides they no longer want to be alone the simply stop on the trail and wait for the next person, or the last trip staff to continue with them.
When back in camp, allow for solo/journaling time before beginning the next activity
Objective. Maintaining mental and physical health using mindfulness and meditation
Appendix K Multi-Parter
Set Up. On the edge of camp in an area appropriate for quick movement set up 10-20 different small specific tasks
- Deconstructed a tent pole - Folded a map
- Pump a fuel bottle 30 times - Rethread the lace on a shoe - Pump 1 liter of water
- Gathered in a pile 5 sticks at least a foot long - Stuff a sleeping bag
- Include some tasks that take multiple people to complete …and other basic camp related tasks
The goal of this activity is for the group to complete the tasks as quickly as possible without running. The facilitator will explain all of the tasks that need to be complete and if necessary show what the final product will look like. The group will have 2 minutes to plan their strategy. When the two minutes is complete their time to completion begins. When all of the tasks are complete, in order to stop the time, the group must all return to the
established “base camp” denoted by a rope on the ground.
After the first round items are reset for round two. In round two the group only gets 1 minute to conceive of a plan before time begins. During that planning time they are instructed to set a goal time for themselves.
Objective.
Building strong communities and relationships Facilitated discussions on navigating college life.
Debrief Questions. D
What was an essential part of accomplishing each task? What were some barriers in accomplishing your goal?
What are some areas of college life that may require multitasking or teamwork?
Appendix L Rope Maze
Set Up. Tie P-cord around trees almost like a spider web. With everyone blindfolded place them so that both hands are touching the rope. Ask everyone to find the end of the rope and explain that they are only allowed to ask two questions. “Have I found the end?” “Can I have help?” The answer is no and yes respectively.
Objective. Cultivating stress management and time management techniques
Debrief Questions. Once participants have “found the end” they will be instructed to remove their blindfold, sit to the side silently and
contemplate the questions (provided on a note card) “What am I able to accomplish on my own?” “Why is it alright to ask for help?” “Who in my life is ready to help when I need it?”
Appendix M - Closing Rose, Torn, Bud
Set Up. Use the rose to symbolize your favorite thing about this trip, the torn as your least favorite thing about this trip and the bud as the aspect of this trip that you want to continue to work on. Allow time for everyone in the group to share.
Slide Show
Set up. Participants are asked to sit or stand in a semi-circle. Each person is then given the opportunity to step in front of the group and explain their favorite “snap shot” from the trip as if the group was looking at the image projected in front of them. The participants are then asked to describe a snapshot of their future in college as they would like to see it unfold.
For extra effect a clicker of some sort can act as the method for moving to the next person’s slide.
Me, You and What We Went Through
Set up. Participants are asked to share something they learned about themselves, something they learned about something else, and something they learned about college life from their experience.
