“Faith, hope, love, selflessness, risk and patience! Patience! Education is patience. Understand, accept, endure.
(inscription on the board)

STUDY PROCESS

The family is one of the most ancient social institutions. It arose much earlier than religion, state, army, education, market.

The family is a complex system of relationships, since it usually unites not only spouses, but also their children, as well as other relatives.

Whatever the parents, they will always answer in the affirmative to the question “Do you love your child?” And how we love and, moreover, whether we know how to love, somehow we didn’t have to think about it. Let's reflect on this issue today and try to highlight the components of parental love.

Before we get started, I'd like to get to know you. I suggest you write your first name on the cards and attach them.

Thank you. Now get closer to the circle. Stretch your arms forward. I have a ball in my hands. Let's not let it fall, let it roll over our palms. Okay. And now to the other side. Thank you. Let's sit down. Tell me how you felt doing this exercise? I will ask everyone to say at least one sentence. Parents speak out round.

We will work effectively, for this we need to discuss the rules of work. We offer these:

1. Everyone has the right to speak on the topic of conversation and be heard.

2. We don't have spectators, everyone works.

3. We are good friends, well-mannered people, we know how to keep our secrets, we don't gossip.

4. Trust us as friends, trust us as specialists , because, in preparation for the meeting, we leafed through a large number of pedagogical literature, searched for information corrected for today.

Do we accept the rules? Let's work.

Exercise "I wish you well"

Purpose: to convey positive feelings to each other through tactile contact.

The members of the group become in a circle, join hands and, according to the instructions of the psychologist, convey their positive feelings to each other with the help of tactile contact; The result is checked with a survey.

Game "Enter the Circle"

Parents stand in a circle, hold hands tightly and imagine that they are children. One remains outside the circle - this is an adult. His task is to convince preschoolers to let him into the circle. To do this, you need to choose the right tone of communication and the right words.

Questions for analysis:

• What did you experience doing this task?
• Was it easy to enter the circle?

Exercise "As a child, I dreamed ..."

Participants throw the ball to each other with the words: “As a child, I dreamed ...”

This exercise encourages group members to fall into a childish ego state.

The game "What is he - my child"

The task of the game is to determine how parents see their child. To do this, each of them outlines the contour of the hand, on the image of each finger writes the letter of the child's name. Then parents are invited to decipher the letters, name the qualities of the child's character that begin with this letter. In the center of the palm, you can depict a symbol of who he is in the family.

The palms are glued to the paper. Summing up:

Most often, positive characteristics are given, which allows you to see in the child positive traits thereby setting it up for success. Also, the game leads parents to certain conclusions about the formation of the child's personality.

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! Right. 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! That is - 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.

And imagine that you need to solve the problem in a short time, and not only one, but even the two of you 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?
5 slide

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!

Time: 15 minutes.

Resources: colored markers, drawing paper, pre-prepared individual tasks.

Course of the exercise: Participants are divided into 2 teams. Each team member is given an individual task. 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 given to one participant in the training, 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. Participants are not allowed to speak or use their voice in any way.

It is necessary to jointly draw the Tower of Babel. The execution time is limited (5-7 minutes).

The psychological meaning of the exercise: During the exercise, participants learn to coordinate their actions, interact in a team. Developing non-verbal communication skills.

Discussion: Was it difficult to complete the task? What did you find the most difficult? Was the group interaction successful? Why?

Exercise "Talking hands"

Purpose: emotional and psychological rapprochement of participants.

Time: 5-7 minutes.

Course of the exercise: Participants form two circles: internal and external, facing each other. The host gives commands that the participants perform silently in the resulting pair. After that, at the command of the leader, the outer circle moves to the right by a step.

Options for instructions to the resulting pairs:

Say hello with your hands.

Fight with your hands.

Reconcile with your hands.

Show support with your hands.

Pity your hands.

Express joy.

Wish good luck.

Say goodbye with your hands.

The psychological meaning of the exercise: there is an emotional and psychological rapprochement of the participants due to bodily contact. Between them, mutual understanding improves, the skill of non-verbal communication develops.

Discussion: What was easy, what was difficult? Who found it difficult to silently convey information? Who is easy? Did they pay attention to the information from the partner or did they think more about how to convey the information themselves? What do you think this exercise was aimed at?

1. Exercise "Secret"

Purpose: positive completion of the training, reflection.

Sitting in a circle, one person transmits his secret as in a deaf phone, then 2 people launch their secret. When all the secrets are told, the discussion: to whom did the etc. return.

Bottom line: now you know all the secrets of each other.

The psychological meaning of the exercise: A ritual that allows you to complete the training beautifully and on a positive emotional note.

Discussion: “Our training has come to an end. What did you find useful for yourself and for the group? How can you rate your group now?

Do not forget that you are a single whole, each of you is an important and necessary, unique part of this whole! Together you are strong! Thank you all for participating!”

First you need to split the group into two teams. It is recommended to do this in the following way. You yourself choose two people who, in your opinion, have good communication skills and ask them out loud to be Team Captains for the duration of the game. After that, they go around the training room and recruit the people they need into the teams. This must be done in such a way that the members of the teams are equally divided.

Let's ask the teams to take their places (in opposite corners of the training team there is a table and the required number of chairs). The teams disperse, sit down, and you report that from now on they should not speak Russian or any other well-known language. But it is not forbidden to speak with gestures, to invent new language, some other signaling system. But the participants must still understand your speech. Then call the team captains and give them pre-written and typed (or handwritten) instructions. Have the captains read them and report to their teams. None of the team members should see the instructions, this should be carefully monitored by the leader and assistant. After some time, you can even take the instructions from the leaders, making sure that the leaders remember them. But, most importantly, make sure that the leaders do not see each other when giving instructions, because the beauty of the game is that the instructions are different. Each team is invited to perform a fairly complex action, and involve members of the opposing team in the implementation. The leader who has read the instructions must explain to his team what the coach wants from her, but there is a language barrier in the way, so the leader must ensure that artistic and smart participants with rich imagination and good developed imagination. When the members of each team understand what they have to do, they will be forced to make contact with each other in order to involve the members from the other team in the common action. But the presence of different tasks creates difficulties, on the way to the resolution of which the same language barrier arises.

Leaders receive the following tasks for their teams:

A-Team:

1. Come up with at least 6 different military ranks, assign one of these titles to each of those present, excluding the Leader and Assistant, come up with a military uniform that is different from the modern one and introduce insignia.
2. Prepare the training room to repel the aggressor.
3. Organize a banquet on the occasion of the enemy's non-aggression with the utterance of two speeches (1 minute each), congratulations to the defense participants and the presentation of medals. Speeches should be made by one person from each team.

Team B:

1. Come up with at least six models of fashionable clothes, turn everyone's clothes into one of these models.
2. Organize a demonstration of these models for imaginary viewers.
3. Organize a banquet on the occasion of a successful demonstration with at least two speeches, one of which must be delivered by a representative of the opposing team, congratulating the participants in the demonstration and presenting gifts. The duration of the performance is also no more than 1 minute.

The tasks are designed so that the first part of them is similar for both teams, and the participants would not immediately guess that their tasks are different. However, by the end of the first part of the tasks, participants begin to suspect that they are being fooled. After completing the second part of the task, this suspicion will turn almost into certainty, and they will expect a dirty trick from the third part of the task, but the third tasks are very similar to each other, which again introduces the participants into painful reflections.

After all the tasks are completed, invite the teams to disperse again in the corners, in their playing places, if they have survived by that time (and I must say that after all the actions, the training hall sometimes starts to look more than strange, and the machine gun nest from two chairs on the closet is not the most surprising!). You hand out sheets of paper to them and ask them to write in Russian what exactly each participant did, how he understood his leader. Then you collect the papers, return the participants to speechlessness and invite each team to discuss what task the rivals performed. In five minutes, each team must come to a consensus on this issue, and report this to the other team. This is where the game ends and the discussion begins. The discussion is conducted with the use of video recording (but it is possible without it!). The topic of discussion is the issue of understanding and mutual understanding. What hinders this and what helps? At what point did each participant feel like they understood someone? At what point did the participant feel understood? Questions, questions... This is where the game ends.

This game is quite difficult for the participants, so it should be played only in strong groups capable of improvisation and creativity. To make the task easier, you can, for example, let the leaders say three words each, if you see that all his attempts to explain the task lead to nothing.

Pay attention to the fact that the leaders do not immediately guess the difference in tasks. And finally, it is not necessary to give these particular tasks. You can come up with others, simple or complex, short or long, based on the Leader's own understanding of what exactly the group needs at the moment.

All control of the game is carried out through the team leaders. If you often interfere in the game, the participants may stop perceiving leaders as such, which will make it even more difficult to find common language.

To make the game end fun and well, ask the participants giving a speech at the closing banquet to explain what exactly they wanted to say, what awards and for what each winner was awarded.

Purpose: identifying leaders, acquiring skills to work in micro groups, team building.

Equipment: Three sets of items with the same number of items in each. Stopwatch.

The teacher takes the position of an observer. After the first construction, the most active guys are selected, who are enrolled in the jury. Teams are given another 2 minutes to build the tower again. Now originality is judged. Groups are invited to unite in twos, including the jury team. The tower is being rebuilt. Leaders are emerging again. The result of the game will be the construction of a common tower.

Team building exercises

Target: awareness by participants of similarities with each other, their place in the group, the definition of group values. Gaining experience in group interaction, improving communication between group members, gaining experience for participants in successfully achieving a group goal. Creation of conditions for the manifestation of leadership abilities.
Time spending: in the training on the topic "Teambuilding" these exercises will be related to the main block, therefore, they can take 30-40 minutes from the entire training. Each exercise has a timing. You can compose the exercises you like as you wish.

Exercise "Turn to one side"

Participants freely disperse in space so that the distance between neighbors is at least 70-80 cm, and stand facing the same direction (for example, everyone is facing the door). Then, according to the clap of the leader, everyone simultaneously performs a jump in place. While jumping, you can turn in any direction by 90, 180, 240 or 360 degrees. Everyone decides for himself where and how much to turn, you can’t talk about it. After the jump, the participants look at each other (at the same time, they can communicate using facial expressions and gestures, but not words) and after another clap, closing their eyes again, they make the next jump from the position in which they landed earlier. Task: after the next jump, all participants must land, turning their faces in one direction (it doesn’t matter which one).
Discussion: What caused difficulties in the beginning of the exercise? Can you complete the exercise, acting on the principle of "every man for himself"? What actions ensured the successful completion of this task? How did you understand the intention of the other participants and convey your intention to them?
Time spending: 10 minutes.

Exercise "Form a circle"

Leading:“We are all very different. We are interested in different things, we are fond of different hobbies. But still, there are similarities between us. The following exercise will help some participants open up in new ways and, in turn, learn something new and unexpected about others.”
At the beginning of the exercise, one volunteer must be selected. A volunteer comes to the center of the circle and says "I love cats", for example. The phrase can be replaced, for example, "I'm fond of ...". The person who shares his interests comes up to him and takes his hand. And in turn says: "I love ...". And so a chain is formed. At the end, the last participant takes the hand of the first and the circle closes.
Time spending: 10-15 minutes.

Exercise "Born Leader"

Before starting the exercise, it is necessary to make artificial obstacles throughout the space of the office. Arrange desks and chairs in a chaotic manner.
Leading:“Every team has a leader. This is the person who directs, inspires, distributes responsibilities. As a rule, the leader knows the goal better than anyone and sees the future better than anyone, determines the path of development. Now we will test the abilities of our leader and the degree of mutual understanding between the leader and the team.” Instructions: all participants line up one after another in a column. In this case, the leader (the head of the group) stands behind the column facing backwards. The person who stands in front of the column goes forward, and the leader directs him. The column must obey the leader, and the task of the leader is to choose the direction in order to achieve the goal.
Time spending: 10 - 15 minutes.

Exercise "Group City"

This exercise involves drawing simultaneously within a common area: the city of the group.
Leading:“I propose to draw the city of our group and settle ourselves in it. The city may have infrastructure - cafes, shops, etc. Within the city there may be a forest, a river, a lake, a park. Do not limit yourself in creativity ”(20 minutes are allotted for the task). After the participants have finished drawing, the drawing of the "city of the group" is placed in the center of the circle. Discussion:

• Why did you choose this place to "build" your house?
• Did you place yourself in the center of the sheet at the edge? Why?
• Who did you build your house next to?
• Did the members "settle" their characters in their own homes or in someone else's? And why?
• What contribution did you make to the overall drawing?
• What role did you play in the process? What role did others play? Was the leader revealed in the process of work?
• Did you enjoy working with your classmates?

Props: whatman paper, colored pencils, felt-tip pens.
Time spending: 30 minutes.

Exercise "Tower of Babel"

Participants are divided into 2 teams. Each team member is given an individual task.

Time spending: 15 minutes.

Exercise "Rock Climber"

Participants stand in a tight line, creating a "rock" on which protrusions stick out, formed from the hands and feet of the participants exposed forward, bodies tilted forward. The player's task is to pass along this "rock" without falling into the "abyss", i.e. without putting your foot outside the line formed by the feet of the participants. It is more convenient to organize the exercise in the form of a chain - participants from one end of the "rock" alternately make their way to the other, where they again "embed" into it. After completing the task, the participants sit down in their places, and go discussion: What feelings did the leaders and participants form the “rock” when doing this exercise? What helped and what hindered the task?
Time spending: 5-10 minutes.

Exercise "Knot"

The group is divided into two equal teams. Each of the teams lines up in a column so that the guides of the columns are facing each other at a distance of about 1.5 meters. For the role of guides, you can choose the most active and sociable participants. Each participant holds a rope in his hand, stretched along both columns. The task is given: without taking your hands off the rope, tie a knot in its gap between the two guides. The knot tying technique is not explained to the participants. They must guess and complete the task themselves.
Discussion: What did your success depend on? Or why didn't they do it? How coordinated were your actions? Has a leader emerged? Did others willingly follow his instructions? Maybe someone had their own vision?
Props: clothesline.
Time spending: 15 minutes.

Group spirit exercise

Participants draw on a sheet of drawing paper any figure that personifies the group (for example, the figure of a person, a university building, a large tree, a mountain, etc.). A sheet of paper with a drawn figure lies in the center of the circle. Each participant has 1 minute to think about what manner of behavior, what attitudes will be useful for teamwork, and which are not. After that, participants should write inside the shape keyword- the name of the quality, feeling, sensation, which seems to them useful for effective interaction in the group. On the same sheet, but outside the figure, participants write down what they would like to avoid in group interaction. Then the facilitator offers to choose a name for the figure.
Props:
Time spending: 30 minutes.

Exercise “Why do I need this group?”

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 different civilizations who do not have a common language, and therefore 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.
