Overview
Week Nine strengthens teamwork, strategic thinking, and gratitude through a mix of fast-paced games and meaningful reflection. Students begin with Legs 11, a hilarious non-verbal communication challenge that instantly builds connection, trust, and collaboration. They continue developing strategic decision-making and physical engagement through activities like the Area Dice Challenge, which combines maths, movement, and problem-solving. This blend of cognitive and physical tasks helps students understand how working together, thinking ahead, and staying active contribute to shared success.
The week also deepens students’ sense of gratitude and appreciation for others through the creative and heartfelt Super Buddies activity. Students identify the important people in their lives, transform one into a superhero character, and share the values they most admire, building empathy, confidence, and emotional awareness. The session ends with the Shared Goals Relay, reinforcing the power of collaboration and collective achievement. Together, these activities help students appreciate the people around them, understand the value of teamwork, and recognise how strategies, gratitude, and positive relationships shape their daily lives.
