Beginning of work ( 3 min.)

Hello guys. Today we have gathered for the next lesson of our school assets. We remember that you are not just children, you are the brightest rays of our children's public organization "Solar Republic".

Welcome Ritual

The rays of the sun rise, they reach the sky, they strive to warm the Earth!!!(carcasses)

All the guys stand in a circle. Sing the words. At the words, they raise their hands slowly, stand on tiptoe, then embrace all together. And so three times.

The rays of the sun are rising raise your hands in front of you)

They reach the sky hands up, rise on tiptoe)

Trying to warm the earth hugging the shoulders - closing the eagle circle)

Step back, open the ring, repeat everything again, and one more time

Warm-up (7 min)

And now I invite you to guess what the topic of our lesson is today.

You need to choose one photo and determine an approximate theme.

Photo language exercise

The counselor has in his hand photographs on the topic: "Teamwork" The counselor invites everyone to take one photo. Each child briefly comments on the photo and suggests a topic for the lesson. At the same time, he expresses the associations, thoughts, feelings that have arisen in him in connection with photography and establishes their connection with the topic of the lesson.

Well done! Correctly. Look - all the photos are united by one theme - "Team Interaction". You agree with me?

In your opinion, how important is the interaction in the team and how will it help us in the affairs of our children's public organization?

Children's answers...

Of course, you are all right. It is very difficult to hold an action or implement a project alone, but if we are together, we are strong! And if we also understand each other perfectly, that is, we have learned to interact with each other, then we are definitely up to any task.

Let's see how you can work together while doing the same tasks at the same time.

Exercise "Chairs"

– the number of chairs corresponds to the number of participants. Chairs are arranged in a circle so that they can be walked around.

Instruction: it is necessary for the whole group to simultaneously perform such a task - everyone sits on chairs, stand behind the back, raise the chair to chest level, lower it, go to the starting position and sit on the chair again. You can't talk during the mission.

Main part (30 min)

Leader's story.

information on slides.

Communication - what is it? ( Communication- a complex multifaceted process of establishing and developing contacts between people, generated by the needs of joint activities and including the exchange of information, the development of a unified interaction strategy, the perception and understanding of another person (Short psychological dictionary. M., 1985).Communication acts as an interpersonal interaction, i.e. connections and influence that develop as a result of the joint activities of people.)

How does it happen? Methods and types of communication; Verbal and non-verbal communication The transfer of information is possible with the help of signs, sign systems.

Verbal communication carried out through speech. Speech is universal remedy communication, since when information is transmitted, the meaning of the message is conveyed with its help.

Try to convey information to each other through speech.

Non-verbal communication :

• Visual types of communication are gestures, facial expressions, postures, skin reactions (redness, blanching, sweating), eye contact.
• Acoustic types: voice timbre, range, tonality, as well as the inclusion of pauses and other means in speech, such as coughing, laughter, crying, etc.
• Tactile: (touching, shaking hands, hugging, kissing)

Of course, you always communicate, but I offer you communication for the result, that is, the achievement of something depends not on one, but on two!

Exercise "Palm to palm"(it is held in a room where there is a lot of space - a gym, an assembly hall, a game room, etc.)

The counselor invites the group to split into pairs and, pressing their palms together, move along an imaginary path with some surprises and trials. When moving, the participants do not take their palms off the palms of their partner. Then the pairs line up at a distance of 1 meter from each other.

You set off on a journey, but it will not be easy for you, since your palms are glued to each other, you cannot separate them. ( we could connect them - "forcibly" - for example with adhesive tape - but when you are doing a common thing - you cannot forcefully connect people - it all depends on your mutual desire to work together).

Along the way, you have to overcome a number of obstacles, and the success of this journey depends only on consistency and the ability to find mutual understanding.

So, you are walking along a large and bright country road ( 5 steps),

she swerves into the field right),

you safely cross it ( 5 steps)

and in front of you is a narrow path leading into the forest. You can only walk along the path one at a time ( 5 m).

And now - you see a deep hole - you can only jump over it! Well done!

Attention, in front of you on the path is a small chick that fell out of the nest. It must be put in its place. (there is a ball on the floor - put it on the "nest" - high - arm's length on tiptoe)

Now on your way there is a bridge across a forest stream, ( bridge - plank). You need to go through it very carefully - do not dump each other into the river.

Again in front of you is a narrow path (3 steps)

She led you to a large river with a turbulent current, it can be overcome if you swing your arms in sync, like in the crawl style. (10 strokes)

River behind. Well done!!! Need to rest! Sit on a tree - relax! ( 5 sec)

Now, do you feel? rose strong wind!!! Now it's going to rain! Let's run to the cave! ( 6 meter. - on the mat)

Well done! Now you can separate the palms. Together you overcame all the trials and reached the saving cave! I.e - result.

Reflection:

What sensations, feelings were characteristic of you when you traveled in pairs?

What caused the difficulty? What made you happy?

Which of the obstacles was the most difficult? Which one is the easiest?

You understand how difficult it is to achieve results together. And only mutual support will help to achieve what you want and overcome difficulties.

Imagine that you need to solve a problem in a short time, and not only one, but two can no longer cope, you need to interact in a team ... ? Let's try to make a sketch project of the Tower of Babel.

Tower of Babel- the legendary tower, which is dedicated to the biblical tradition. According to this legend, after the Flood, humanity was represented by one people who spoke the same language. From the east, people came to the land of Shinar (in the lower reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates), where they decided to build a city called Babylon and a tower to heaven in order to "make a name for themselves." The construction of the tower was interrupted by God, who created new languages ​​for different people, because of which they ceased to understand each other, could not continue the construction of the city and the tower, and scattered throughout the earth. On the contrary, we will try to build such a Tower of Babel - in order to find a common language

Exercise "Tower of Babel"

Individual tasks: briefly written on separate sheets, each sheet is strictly confidential to one participant. For example, “The tower must have 10 floors” - a sheet with such an inscription is handed to one participant, he has no right to show it to anyone, he is obliged to make sure that the tower drawn together has exactly 10 floors! The second task: “The whole tower has a brown outline” is a task for the next participant. “A blue flag is flying over the tower”, “There are only 6 windows in the tower”, etc.

Conditions: Participants are not allowed to talk or use their voice in any way. It is necessary to jointly draw the Tower of Babel. For excitement, a stopwatch is connected.

The prepared contour of the tower can be placed on the floor, on the table - with a free approach of the whole group.

Reflection:

What sensations, feelings were characteristic of you when you all drew one drawing together?

What caused the difficulty in general work?

Could the drawing have been done faster? More beautiful?

The guys answer at will (either all, or 1-2)

You made a wonderful Tower of Babel, although you all did different tasks. You probably understood how difficult it is to go together towards the same goal, but if you distribute responsibilities correctly, you can quickly achieve results.

Completion (5 min)

Generalization of the received knowledge.

What new did we learn in the lesson?

What is needed for effective interaction in a collective?

How to constructively build relationships with each other?

Thank you all very much. And finally, a parable.

On the slides - images of the parable.

man and ants

Once a man saw hardworking ants who were building their anthill. The construction went on actively, the anthill grew literally before our eyes, rising higher and higher.

The man was completely delighted with how well the work of a huge team was organized: while one ant dragged a straw, another cleared the way for the first, the third carried water, the fourth got food, and the fifth built the wall of their big house...

The man exclaimed:

Ants, what are you good fellows!

We know that, the ants replied. - And who are you?

I am a man, he replied. - Reasonable creature!

Are you like us? the ants asked.

A little. We humans have learned the laws of nature, reached the bottom of the ocean, landed on the moon, build houses and even entire cities.

Then you are also worthy of praise! the ants exclaimed. - But, man, if you are so reasonable, why instead of doing something useful, sitting here talking to ants?

Leader:

- So why are we sitting here? It's time to get down to business! I hope that now we will understand each other better, and we will solve not only our problems faster and better, but also help the world around us!

Purpose: team building

Tasks:

1. Development of group work skills
2. Development of non-verbal communication skills
3. Development of creative and logical abilities

Participants: students in grades 4-7

Material for conducting: packs of spaghetti pasta, scissors, small tape

1. Warm up.

Conversation with children on the questions: “Do you know what the Tower of Babel is?”, “Why is it called that?”
The psychologist tells the children summary Legends of the Tower of Babel.

Once upon a time, all the people of the earth understood each other, speaking the same language: after all, they were all descendants of the Noah clan, who escaped during the flood and found shelter near the Ararat mountains. Gradually, the clan increased, acquired new knowledge and skills. And people conceived to build a city, and in it a high tower to the very heavens, which could be seen from any part of the earth. By that time, people had learned a lot: they burned bricks, collected stones, laying them in the foundation. Gradually the tower grew, rising higher and higher towards the sky. People rejoiced, seeing how rapidly their creation was growing.

The Lord found out about this and was surprised to see a huge tower that stretched to the sky. God did not like this idea: pride and vanity again manifested themselves among people who decided to ascend to heaven. And he said: “Here is one people, everyone understands each other, everyone speaks the same language. But what are they doing? Proud and stubborn, they want to rise to heaven, to come closer to the Lord himself! He did not punish people with death, but punished them in a different way, mixing the language they spoke.

Going out one fine day to their tower, setting to work, people suddenly ceased to understand the speech of another. No one understood what they were talking about nearby, people could not do anything, construction stopped. People descended to earth from their unfinished tower to find out what happened to them. But on earth they began to quarrel, not understanding what they were talking about and what each of them wanted. Seeing this, the Lord decided to help people, for this he forced them to leave the unfinished city and disperse to different lands. So the people did, leaving the unfinished tower and settling in different parts of the earth. Over time, they forgot about their relationship, they had new traditions, their own language, rituals and customs were formed.

2. Exercise "Tower of Babel".

The psychologist gives the instructions to the students to sit at the desk with whomever they want, that is, according to sympathy. After that, the psychologist seats the children in such a way that sympathies are not taken into account, and forms several teams, equal in the number of participants in each team. Each team is given material - one for the whole team (1 pack of spaghetti pasta, 1 scotch tape and scissors).

Task: build the highest and most stable tower.

Condition: during the construction, the participants do not talk, only exchange gestures. All discussions take place before the start of the game for 5 - 7 minutes.
Construction time - 30 minutes.

The psychologist makes sure that the rules of the game are not violated.
The team that achieves the goal wins.

3. Summing up.

Each participant is given a piece of paper and a pen, and the following questions are asked:

Who were the leaders in your team? Who was everyone following?

Who was less active on your team? Who brought the least "good" to the team?

Who came up with the most ideas for the team? Who was the initiator of the ideas?

Based on a written survey of children, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the activity of each participant.

After graduation, the children share with the psychologist - what was the most difficult thing in the task, what did they like about the task and what experience can be learned from it.

Discussion: Why didn't it work right away? What strategy did you choose?

Test diagnostics

Test number 1. Practitioner and Logic (practical or logical, abstract thinking)

Instruction. Before you is a chain of ovals. Based on this detail, you need to recreate the whole picture, create a whole from one fragment. What you draw and how to complement this drawing is up to you.

stimulus material.

Interpretation:

If you made a chain of ovals the basis of your drawing, then this indicates that you have practical thinking, everything concrete is closer to you. A sign of practical thinking are such drawings: an ear, a bunch of grapes, berries, etc. - the main emphasis was placed on ovals.

If the chain of ovals is not the main part of your drawing, but an additional one, then this indicates that you have logical thinking you like to think abstractly. A sign of abstract thinking is the following drawings: a walking person followed by a chain of footprints; the tail of a bird or beast; braid girls and all in the same vein. In other words, the chain of ovals in this case is nothing more than an addition to the picture.

People with practical thinking work well in a team, they are responsible and accurate. They do an excellent job with a huge amount of work, due to the fact that they are able to clearly organize their working day and distribute all the cases according to their importance and urgency. These people practically do not have hopeless situations, as they calculate in advance every step they take in order to insure themselves against possible surprises. They prefer systematic work than a task that suddenly fell on their heads, even if it promises them considerable profits.

People with abstract thinking do not like routine, they prefer to work by inspiration, they like to express themselves in a creative way, they always have a lot of different ideas in their heads, which they are happy to share with their surroundings. They are not accustomed to planning their affairs in such a way that they are distributed evenly; for them, activity is more important during periods when inspiration visits them.

Test #2 Sensory and Intuitive (Practitioner or Analyst)

Instruction. Before you is an arbitrary set of figures, a certain composition. Using one, two or more shapes (as many as you need to complete the task), draw a person.

stimulus material.

Key to the test, interpretation.

If you have created a person based on one, two, three or even four figures, this means that you are a sensory or practitioner. You took on the task, based on specific details, you began to consider each figure separately.

If you if you saw a person’s face and drew it up, then this indicates that you are an intuitionist. You tend to analyze, you pay attention, first of all, not to specific details, but to their totality.

For sensors in the first place are the details, specific events, thoughts and words. They always clearly build their speech, because they invariably proceed from concrete facts and are not distracted by generalizations and abstract concepts. Sensors are observant, they notice everything that surrounds them. They are excellent storytellers, make excellent reports and skilfully analyze real events. But conversations on abstract topics annoy them, because they seem insignificant to them, because they are not based on facts.

Intuitives (analysts) prefer not the details, but the whole picture, their forecasts and assumptions most often come true. The fact is that where sensors are wading through facts, gradually building them into a chain, analysts immediately grasp common features and draw the right conclusion. Intuitivists are born theorists, and sensorics are practitioners. Or you can say that sensorics are driving along the road, and intuitivists are flying over it. Ideally, sensors and analysts perfectly complement each other, they can give each other a lot, their worldviews and attitudes are so different that they will never be bored together.

Test 3: Circle and dot

Draw a circle on a piece of paper and ask for a dot.

Test transcript:
Disciplined people have to place a dot in the center of the circle. More carefree people put a dot somewhere in the circle, but not in the center. The closer the point is to the edge, the more risky the person. Rarely, but it does happen, people put a dot on a line. Interesting .. as if there is no other place on the sheet! These people may be officials or lawyers, i.e. people who make the rules. Strong personalities place a dot outside the circle, somewhere on the page. Very few people turn the page and put a dot on the other side of the paper. This may be a sign of genius.

Test 4. Triangle, circle, square
Instruction: draw a man from 10 shapes, it can be a triangle, a circle and a square. The main thing is that the total number should be 10.

Test transcript
Count which figures are more. Each figure is 10%. The test determines your state at a given time. The triangles symbolize emotions, the square symbolizes intellect, and the circle symbolizes sex. According to psychogeometry, the square in the drawings symbolizes that in front of you is a tireless worker. Triangles are energetic, unstoppable, strong personalities who set clear goals and usually achieve them. The circle is a mythological symbol of harmony. The one who confidently chooses it is sincerely interested in good interpersonal relationships.

3. Final phase ( 3-5 minutes).

Digicon game

In accordance with the concept of the game, the participants must play the roles of "prisoners" and "robots".
1. Divide the players into groups of any size from 4 to 8 - sizes may vary.
2. In each group, ask one volunteer to play the robot. Invite the "robots" to imagine that they are mechanical slaves who are obliged to obey their masters. They can see, hear, move, and react, but they cannot speak.
3. Inform the others that they are "prisoners" in cells, and place each group in a corner or against a wall, fenced off with tables and chairs to form a "cell". Position the cameras as far apart as possible. The "robots" stand outside, in front of their owners' cameras, waiting for activity to begin.
4. Pay general attention to the large door key that you put in front of everyone (it can be any object, such as a handle).
5. Familiarize everyone with the following scenario. As you read, it will seem complicated, but the explanations will only take a few minutes.
Scenario
You are all the heroes of a science fiction story. Some are aliens from outer space, while others are robots. Earthlings imprisoned all the aliens and locked them in cells. Guards at any time can take them to execution. The only way for the aliens to escape is to order the robots to bring the key (in plain sight) that fits the door of each of the cells. But it is necessary to hurry, because it is not known who the prisoners in other cells will turn out to be - friends or enemies. Those who manage to escape can either release the rest or kill them. Robots can go anywhere except cameras. Before the prisoners can use the services of their robots, they will have to create their memory and give the latter a series of commands to be recorded. Unfortunately, the robots' memory can only hold 10 commands, each of which consists of a maximum of two words. These are the only sounds the robots can respond to. Moreover, commands cannot be given in any known language; they must consist of meaningless words: e.g. zine - go ahead or chat ~ go back. This is dictated by the fact that in each cell there are representatives of various civilizations who do not have common language and so they have to invent it. In each cell, a group of prisoners must develop their own conditional commands and enter them into the reference tables of the corresponding robots, so that they can then be ordered to go, take the key and bring it to the cell. In this way, the robots respond to a series of predefined commands. These commands, once learned, can be repeated and given in any order. Once formed, the memory of robots cannot be changed.
When you're done explaining, answer the questions briefly and make sure everyone understands what they need to do. Then give the prisoners 5 minutes to form the "memory" of the robots. Each chamber should discuss what words would mean commands to the robots and write them down along with the normal language translation (in 2 copies, 1 for the prisoners, 1 for the robot). After 5 minutes, remove all robots from the room. After that, announce that the guards have made some rearrangements in the prison, and move the furniture a little - for example, drag the table to the middle of the room and say that this is a tunnel through which the robots will have to crawl for the key. Add a few more obstacles so that the robots have to, for example, climb over something. After this, individual prisoners will be completely confused, since it probably never occurred to them to enter the words crawl or climb into the memory of robots. Reassure them and advise them to try their best. After the captives understand the sequence of actions that their robots need to perform in order to get the key, invite the robots to come to you, take the cheat sheets from them, mix them up and distribute them again so that none of them is in the hands of the original version. This will surely sow panic in the ranks of both robots and captives. You comment on your actions by saying that robots are just machines, and it doesn’t matter whose commands they obey. Announce that the robots are now ready for action. The end of the game is when one of the robots takes the key.
Notes: the leader must carefully monitor compliance with the rules of the game.
Discussion: How do you think your team coped with the task? What contribution did you personally make to the common cause? What did you find the most difficult?
Time spending: 30 minutes.
