As soon as he bounded cheerfully in the door, we were given designated seating places (according to the day and month of our birthdays) so that we would mingle with everybody in the class as opposed to sticking with our usual group of friends. The first exercise consisted of us conversing with our neighbour about ourselves....including exposing our most embarrassing moment to our classmates...which despite some apprehension on the part of some people, created great enjoyment amongst us all :)
We took part in various other activities during the day, such as swapping coloured cards which contained different qualities (eg. good at leading a group). After analysing ourselves and our classmates, we were divided into four groups depending on our most prominent card colour:
Red...Bull...Director
Blue...Cat...Observer
Yellow...Cow...Entertainer
Green...Dog...Mediator
Fun was had by all during this exercise, especially when Austin acted out scenes that would reflect our different personality types. =]
When the face paints were brought out, the class lunged for the packets like a pack of ravenous dogs. Despite the struggle to get a hold of the paints, for me, this was the most enjoyable part of the workshop. It really did help us to become closer as a class group and feel more comfortable around each other. xD
That's it for now,
