INSTRUCTION/DEMONSTRATION:
Introduce the idea of having 6 countries that are going to compete in our activities this week. We will be with the same teammates all week, so today we will meet our teammates and go through some team-building activities that will encourage cooperation through the competition. This idea is important because as you will learn this week, Olympic athletes must be highly skilled in the event, but they also must be mentally focused and show positive personal/social skills.

APPLIED ACTIVITY: Team-Building Activities


Helium StickLine up in two rows which face each other. Introduce the Helium Stick- a long, thin, lightweight rod. Ask participants to point their index fingers and hold their arms out. Lay the Helium Stick down on their fingers. Get the group to adjust their finger heights until the Helium Stick is horizontal and everyone's index fingers are touching the stick. Explain that the challenge is to lower the Helium Stick to the ground. The catch: Each person's fingers must be in contact with the Helium Stick at all times. Pinching or grabbing the pole in not allowed - it must rest on top of fingers. Reiterate to the group that if anyone's finger is caught not touching the Helium Stick, the task will be restarted. Let the task begin....
