| >2 min | Facilitation Introduction | How are you all doing today? (Response) That’s great to hear. My name is Agali Chacon. Today in the events we have planned for the scare games we will be putting to then test the qualities and skills you all have in order to become an official scare monster. We will be looking at your team building skills first. Who’s ready to get started? Let’s go! | |
| 7 min | Icebreaker | Name of activity: One of a kind Instructions for facilitator to complete/set up prior to facilitation: None Script: To learn everyone’s name and get familiar with one another, we are going to go around and introduce ourselves, but with a twist. Before you say your name, you will say the monster you want to be and describe the way you would see yourself if you were in the movie. Get creative everyone, remember to think outside of the box and there is an endless number of monsters out there. Describe the color, height, or any unique qualities. Does anyone have any questions? (Response) No questions, great. Let’s get started. | |
| 2 min | Group Division | I’m going to need you all to get into 4 groups of 5. I will assign you all a number between 1-5 and till I make my way all the way around and everyone is in a designated group. You will be in a group with your other classmates that have the same number as you. Now team 1 can go to the far-right corner, team 2 right next to them, then team 3 follow, and lastly team 4 at the other end. Make sure to spread out and give each other enough room to start the activity. You will be keeping these groups for the rest of the day. | |
| 12 min | Activity 1 | Name of activity: Take on the Monster Instructions for facilitator to complete/set up prior to facilitation: The 24 orange cones will be placed around the gym, 6 individual ones for each group. The cones will be disguised as monsters, a picture will be taped onto them. 5 scooters will be placed for each group. Script: Alright, everyone. The goal for this activity will be take on the monsters placed around the gym and make it across to the other side safely, you will all need to hold hands while on the scooters to stay connected as one big monster. Remember for those at the front or the end to not put your hand underneath the scooter and be careful when making your way down using your feet. Work as a team and communicate when making turns and the speed of one another. The team who finishes first, gets extra points for becoming the best scare monsters at the end. Variation: If one student falls from the scooter or they let go of one another and break their connection, they will need to go back and start over. Everyone get ready (wait till ready) and START!!! | |
| 1 min | Transition | Congratulations to team (blank)! You all did amazing taking on the monsters and making it to the end as a team. You all are one step closer to becoming scare monsters. Keep up the god teamwork and communication, you can all go get a drink of water and take a quick break while we start to set up for the next activity. | |
| 13 min | Activity 2 | Name of activity: We got a “2319” Instructions for facilitator to complete/set up prior to facilitation: There will 2 bins for each group. One will be placed in front of them and the second across the gym. The one closest to the students will have 5 foam balls. Each group will have 2 wiffle ball rackets. Script: Now moving onto the scare games, we have “2319” Yes, you heard that right, “2319” the dangerous human toys toxic to monsters. For this activity you will; be working in pairs from your team to get the “human toys” from one bin to the other using the wiffle ball rackets. One person from the team will be going twice. The first team to finish will again win extra points to become the best scare monsters of the day. Everyone get ready and remember to not let the “human toys” touch you or fall on the floor since they are dangerous. Have fun, and let’s get started, there is one twist. I will be taking away one of your senses, once you start you will not be able to speak to one another. Variation: If a student drops one of the foam balls, they will need to place it back in the bin and start over. | |
| 1 min | Transition | Congratulations to team (blank)! Great job everyone on not letting the “human toys” touch you. You all did amazing job using your communication skills without speaking to one another. Here comes the last and final game, you can take a quick break and get some water before we start the final game. | |
| 12 min | Activity 3 | Name of activity: Scare levels Instructions for facilitator to complete/set up prior to facilitation: There will be 50 pieces of paper spread out across the floor with an image of characters from both movies. Script: Alright guys, we’ve made it to the end of the scare games. Now you, and your team will have to get across the gym by guessing the characters I will be describing. I will say “step on a character that is green” you will them choose someone who is green, there may be more than one option. There will be more than one way to get to the other side, the first team to get all their members over wins as the ultimate scare monsters once the extra points are added on. Variation: The twist with this is that you might get trapped depending on the way you choose so then you would have to take a step on the characters that I say after, so follow along but instead of going forward you would just go back and start from there. | |
| 7 min | Debrief | I would just like to point out how great of a job you all did communicating with one another and really focusing on your team building skills. You are all ready to become official scare monsters. Did you all enjoy the games today?Which one was your favorite?What is one thing you learned from all 3 activities? Do you think you took something away from here today when working as a team together? Was there something that went wrong you would do differently if you had the chance to redo it? Do you feel as though your communication skills improved? | |
| 2 min | Conclusion | Alright guys, you all had some good things to say and comments to make about the activities we did today. I hope with the scooter race, the human toy activity, and the maze, it helped with your communications skills with one another and will be able to use it in the future. The ultimate scare monsters’ team who won today is (blank)!! Congratulations don’t forget everyone did an incredible job! You are all scare monsters. Before we all leave, can everyone please grab the pieces of paper and bring them to the front. | |
| If needed* | Transition to back Pocket Activity | So far everyone has done a great job, keep up the good work. We are going to keep practicing on our team building skills and continuing with another activity. | |
| If needed* | Back Pocket Activity | Name of activity: Avoid the monster Instructions for facilitator to complete/set up prior to facilitation: This will be a whole class activity. There will be 18 foam balls spread out across the gym, once one person gets illuminated, then it will go down to 17, 16, 15 and so on until there is one winner. Script: Alright everyone, spread out around the room, and keep your distance between one another. The foam balls are a safety net for the monsters, so they don’t get picked to go behind a door. There will be one toxic monster who got touched by a human toy, so if he touches you, you will lose. If you pick up a foam ball before he reaches you, you will be safe. Everyone be safe and just tap each other when you are getting caught. Let’s go! Variation: If it is a close call as to when someone picked up a foam ball, it will be settled with a rock, paper, scissors challenge to not have do overs or be unfair to other students. | |
