COOPERATIVE GAMES
Last tuesday 30th of March
we had our meeting. We were few people but we enjoyed a lot as always. This
time we share our cooperative games. The meeting started with Miguel's game. It
was called "Let's make shapes". We did 2 teams. One team had 8 bricks
and the other had 8 little chairs. We had to make different shapes with the
material as quick as possible. It seemed easy but it wasn't because we had to
keep the balance at the same time we set the material. My team lost 3 times in
a row. We realized that setting the chairs was more difficult than setting the
bricks, But we also lost when we had to walk on the bricks in order to reach to
the end of the court.!! The other players were smarter than us.

Maria Jose
explained to us her game called "How much time do you need to do it?"
One team was inside a circle and the other team was around it and had to throw
the ball against their bodies in order to eliminate them. It seemed very easy
but it wasn't because MJose gave us only 30'' to do it. The team's success lied
in their velocity and good shot because the ball could only touch from the hip
to the feet. Mireia's game was very similar to Mariajo's one. This time there
was a "Fugitive". A big group had to eliminate the fugitive by
touching him with the ball. The main rule was that the person with the ball
could not run. During the game we realized that the way to eliminate the
fugitive was collaborating between us.

Nuria's game was called "The
meatball" At the beginning it was difficult to understand because we could
not put it into practice. But at the end we did it. It consists in making a big
meatball with the students and moving all together to the place the teacher
told them without talking and separating. It must be funny. We could not play
to Didac's game, we needed much more people. When he explained it, we realized
that it could be very funny to play in a raining day. The game is called
"The chair". I am sure that everybody has played when he was young.
We must set a lot of chairs in a circle. Well, not a lot of chairs, we need
one chair less than people are (difícil de traducir). Instead of using a radio player,
Didac started to play the drums. We had to dance around the chairs while he was
playing the drums and when he stopped, we had to try to sit down quickly. The
one who missed the chair had to start crying. He had to ask to another
classmate: "Can I sit with you?". The answer, of course , was
"YES,you can". And he had to sit down on his legs. Each time a chair
must be removed and at the end there would be a pair of chairs and brunch of
students on them. All keeping the balance!!! Jose Luis explained to us his
game. All the students are in a circle. It must be an odd group. The teacher
gives a ball. The game consists in passing it to the second classmate on the
right or on the left.The game begins with one ball but the teacher gives them
more balls. I can imagine if the balls start falling down!! What a mess!!

| Susana's game: Transport the ball! |
And
now it is time to explain my game: "Transport the ball" In teams of four
we had to transport a medicinal ball. We had to use 4 sticks and we could not
touch the ball. It was a relay race because we had to pass through different
obstacles. Didac discovered that it was possible to play also with 3 people.
So, we did two teams of three and we played a little. I think it was funny as
the other games.
