Activity: energizer communication
Aim: To challenge children’s ability to think creatively.
Time duration: 15 minutes.
Size of Group: Unlimited.
Tools needed: Scrap paper for everyone.
Exercise:
Give each child a single sheet of paper and ask them to make a plane that flies. Each child will more than likely be successful and also be able to demonstrate for others having problems. Next ask that they use a fresh sheet of paper to create a new flying machine. Allow them the same amount of time to look for an entirely new design—a revolutionary new airborne machine that must fly.
In all likelihood, very few will succeed. Most will build upon or slightly alter the conventional design. When all have finished, take a piece of paper, crush it
