Activities
Helium Hula Hoops
Have students stand in a circle and place both index fingers under a hula hoop.
Working together, they must slowly lower the hoop to the ground without losing contact.
Trust Walks
Pair students and have one close their eyes or wear a blindfold.
The partner guides them along a path using only verbal directions, helping them navigate obstacles safely.
Save the Can
Place a can in the center of a marked square.
Students have 5 minutes to plan how they will remove the can without touching it or stepping inside the square.
They may use materials like straws, string, and rubber bands to complete the task.
