Below are our plans for our first two Equipo Verde meetings:Introductions
Trust exercises:
Classic Trust Exercise
2-3 participants, One person closes his/her eyes and falls trusting that their partner's will catch them.
Running Blind
A group of people form a human wall with their arms linked and stand 20 meters away from the ‘blind’ person. This person then begins to run at full speed toward the wall trusting that a chosen ‘helper’ will tell him/her to stop before crashing into the wall.
Gauntlet
Two lines of people face each other chopping their hands in the air in front of them. The person who is it must trust that as they run through the line the people closest to them will stop chopping their hands and let them pass un-chopped.
Lap Circle
Everyone stands in a circle very close together and turns to the left. Then everyone must sit down and back at the same time so that everyone is sitting on eachothers laps and supporting one another.
Garbage Collection Competition:
Form teams and have the children go around the soccer field and see which team can collect the most garbage in a limited amount of time. Look at the garbage and see if any of it could be composted.
Materials: Bags (supermarket bags), gloves
Worm Bin
We are going to show the kids how to make a worm bin. This is an easy way to make compost in one’s own home. The worms live in a little habitat made of wet newspaper and organic waste. They eat the organic waste and create new soil! It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, the box is portable, and there is no strong oder. When we have enough new soil we are going to use it to have an activity planting avocado plants.
