We did some fun activities from Psychology for Kids today, during which the kids learned more about themselves and shared this with their partners. From choosing their own superpowers to analyzing their handwriting, the students were able to work on their Intrapersonal Intelligence.
The last activity we did from the book was one that required the students to divide into two teams. Each team was assigned a different way they could communicate, and then given a problem to solve. The problem was hard! The students were very persistent, though. You can see the finished product of the winning team in the pictures below. Can you figure out how to make that with one piece of paper, one fold, and three cuts?
We tied that communication activity to systems in organizations and systems thinking, and began to read Billibonk and the Big Itch, which is a book that helps young people to learn more about systems thinking.
