Decoding+the+Seed+Team+Building+Activity

Purpose: The purpose of decoding the seed is to work on team building in a fun and innovative way. Team building is important because its main objective is to bring out the best in every member of the team by promoting self-development, positive and effective communication and building on our natural leadership skills to problem solve as a team. This game is going to work on team building skills as well as incorporate technology, which is one of the initiatives that we are focusing on this school year.

"Decoding the Seed" Directions Step 1: Get into groups by department. Note: Some groups are larger than others so, some departments may have to split up into 2 groups. Step 2: Groups go to any table of your liking and there you will see a QR code and iPad. Step 3: Scan the code, it will give you a word. Two member from the group must quickly go to the back tables with all the balloons and scan the QR code to find the pictorial representation of the groups's word. One of the team member must read the full directions off the QR code, you will not be allowed to return back to the tables, once you removed the balloon from the table. (Note: you may use your phone to take a picture of the instructions). Step 4: The person responsible for reading instruction off the second QR code must relay that information to the whole group, if those instructions aren't carried out, the group may acquire a 10 second penalty which is added to your overall time. The requested activity should be done before you pop the balloon to ensure this the balloon must be in the picture or video depending on your instructions. Step 5: Each group has a different set of activities to carry out. The key is to document that act and place it on the decoding the seed padlet. Make sure to put the title of your department and the phase your team is on (total phases 2) and the table number. Step: 6 Once the balloon has been popped, the group will see a piece of paper fall out. It is a quote that is tied into the book study in some way. The quote is missing words, your group responsibility is to find the appropriate words that will complete the quote. The runner will go and get a QR code from a table it is a word bank to help your group complete the quote. On top of that your group must correlate the assigned quote to what you all have learned the past two weeks in regard to rigor or The Seed and type that underneath your completed quote. If you miss this part, you will acquire 10 seconds penalty that will be added to your time. Step 7: Once, your team get the completed quote, one person must type it in the decoding the seed padlet as well as your group statement of the quote correlation and the trainings we attended the past week. Important: The member of the group must correctly type the quote. For each incorrect word, the team will be given a 1 second penalty that will be added to the overall time. Remember the team with quickest time are the winners. Step 8: When your team is done...the whole team have to scream out their table number and I will record the time on my clipboard. Note: If your team do not scream out their number you time will not be recorded.
