Students are still working on team building skills, and this morning we did one of my favorite activities. I call it "The Anxiety Game," because you can see the anxiety begin to build on each student during it. Students are asked to roll a pair of dice until they roll a 6, once a 6 is rolled that student may begin numbering their paper from 1-100. The next student only can stop their peer once they roll the six, and the situation continues as the dice circles the table.
Competitive skills typically begin to really show in this game and nobody wants to be the dice roller that lets someone else win. The students will quickly start asking where everyone else is on their numbering and nervously check to see if they are staying apparent in their own numbering. As anxious as the students become, I always find that at the end of the game, everyone ALWAYS has fun. I think this silly game is a great reminder than anxious feelings are not always bad. Everyone must feel pressure at moments, its human nature, but we can never let those feelings consume us. It's a great activity to do as a group as we prepare for CEO Class Business very soon!
