Over the three days that we have been in the pre-trip classes, we have been doing many team building activities to expand our knowledge of each other. During this process we have learned that communication is the key to a well functioning group. As we were handed the task of completing the "Human Knot."

Many students entangled in the human knot
The object of this game was to lock hands with two people in a random fashion, therefore leaving you in a knot to untangle. At first glance it looked as if it was not difficult, but to our amazement we were faced with the difficult task of untangling ourselves. Learning to trust one another is also one of the many things we have to accomplish as a group.

Tyvae "Getting to know her tree"
With the game "Get to know your tree." With this game one person was blindfolded while their partner lead them to a tree in which they would have a minute to feel the distinctions in their tree, and after words we were required to find our tree. We were able to put our trust in our teammates hand as they guide to our destination.

Teambuilding brought us closer together as a group, and through these processes we learned to communicate and most importantly, motivate each other with positive attitudes. Last but not least, we had lots of fun during these exercises.
