“Create bonds”
Randomly, form groups of five learners. Provide each group with glue, tape, and coloured sheets of paper. Bond the learners of each group together with a cord in order to limit their movement. Learners realize that the spontaneous movements of the bonded members have an impact on the whole group.
Agreement for production
Provide each group with simple instructions. Their objective is to create a product with the provided materials. They need to work in synergy with each other. They need to set and agree on goals and methods of task execution. At this stage, introduce a second limitation: speech prohibition.
SUMMING UP
“Unstoppable creativity” can be used as a social skills assessment of the learners by the teacher. For a teacher, this activity can bring insight on the individual characteristics of the learners.
