Virtual Team Building Games
|
Last week I lead my first Zoom session on Virtual Team Building Games and 490 people showed up! It was amazing! It was my first time leading a virtual group of that size and overall it went very well. I'm going to do a 'repeat' session tomorrow, April 2 at 3:00pm MT / 5:00pm ET in case you missed last week's session. (Plus, it will be better than the first one since I've learned a few tricks and ironed out a few kinks since then.) I'm going to have people register in advance this time so you make sure there is room for you.
Register in advance at this link to reserve your spot! I hope to see you there! Here is a link to the
free downloadable handout that accompanies this workshop.
I'm also leading a More Virtual Team Building Games next Thursday, April 9 at 1:00pm MT / 3:00pm ET. Registration required for this as well to reserve your spot! Click here to register for
More Virtual Team Building Activities.
And just so you know,
our warehouse is still open to ship orders! Not many people know this, but we operate Training Wheels on our property, so since we're still at home,
I can still ship orders out! I haven't run the shipping department in a looooong time, but I still remember how to do it! I have great people employed that do this for me now, but for the short-term yours truly is more than willing to ship you any activities or props you may need. So if you have budget dollars you need to spend or any needs for support materials, I would love
any support you can give to my small business so I can keep my staff employed for the long run. Thank you!
Best wishes to everyone in this odd time in history. Be healthy, be safe and remember that spending time in nature can be very healing for the soul.
Have fun out there,
Michelle

Table Top Comfort Zone Bullseye
|
I use this prop in my Virtual Team Building Activities workshop and teach you how to use it in a virtual format. Those of us in the Experiential industry often ask our participants to step outside of their comfort zones. This Comfort Zone Bullseye Activity will help participants to understand what it means to step outside of their comfort zone and be open to experiencing something new. This activity also allows participants to see how one person may be in their Comfort Zone, and another person may be in the Danger Zone for the same scenario. This leads to excellent debriefing points on how we all have different tolerances for different scenarios.

Connecting Children to Nature
|
Ideas and Activities for Parents and Educators
Get outside! Connecting children and youth to nature entails, first, fostering their love of nature and empathy with the natural world; second, helping them acquire, appropriate to their development, a grasp of how living things and systems work; and third, guiding them to make knowledgeable choices as they live out their lives at home and in community. This is a practical, how-to book. The premise is that we are in living in a critical time for a reality check on how our kids are growing up. The digital world and screen time have become pervasive. Some balance needs to be restored for healthful development, for the sake of both child and society.

Finger trace this labyrinth for a little action and reflection. The labyrinth has only one path so there are no tricks to it and no dead ends. It makes for a wonderful reflection tool that allows participants to enter with something specific in their mind, and reflect on it during the time it takes to wind their way through the maze. Once they reach the center, they can stay there as long as they like before they wind their way back out.
The path winds throughout and becomes a mirror for where we are in our lives. It touches your sorrows and releases your joys. Walk it with an open mind and an open heart.
