Discovering Classmates' Summer Adventures

Description of the activity:

Activity Overview:

Getting Started:

Explain the activity to the students, emphasizing the importance of learning about the people around them. Let them know that this activity will provide an opportunity to discover new hobbies and learn about each other's summer adventures.

Procedure:

• Distribute a chart to each student containing a list of hobbies, activities, and experiences. Or feel free to use the STUDENT SHEET we have created.

• Instruct students to go around the class, asking each classmate if they have engaged in any of the activities listed on the chart.

• If a classmate confirms having done a listed activity, they must sign their name next to it on the chart.

• Each student is allowed to ask only two questions to each classmate and cannot sign someone else's name.

• Set a time limit of 10 minutes for students to complete the chart.

Feedback on What Was Learned:

After the activity, facilitate a discussion where students share what they learned about their classmates. Identify common hobbies or activities that could inspire future class projects.

Feedback on the Cooperative Process:

Have students complete a feedback sheet, reflecting on how they got the attention of their classmates and how they knew their classmates were listening to them.

Reflections:

Encourage students to categorize the items listed on the chart by hobbies or activities. These can be listed on large pieces of cardboard for reference during future projects. Teachers can customize the chart according to the subject, themes, or objectives of the class.
