Today the Sparrows participated in a team building activity. To find out who the teams would be, each friend received a puzzle piece with a letter on it. The puzzle piece either had an uppercase letter or lowercase letter, and friends had to use letter recognition and problem solving skills, as well as communicate with one another in order to find who had the matching letter.
Once the correct pieces were connected and teams were formed, the partners stood together. Next, the pairs walked over to the table to find out which bin had the letter that corresponded to theirs. Whichever bin had the matching letters was the bin of items friends would be building with.
Friends carried their materials over to either one of the tables and rugs and got to work. Some teams chose to speak about what they would like to create beforehand and others went straight to work and figured out what they were building once it was built.
Again, friends used communication and problem solving skills, as well as practiced spatial awareness and stability as they worked as a team.
Once time was up, friends walked around the room as if they were at a museum, looking at the different "exhibits." The teams presented their work to one another. Each team gave a brief description of what they built and how they built it.
