In this activity, Mr. Olson gave the challange of working with a team to create a way of passing a tennis ball in a faster way than the opposing team. The disadvantages to this was the close distance we were to the other team, therefore they'd take our ideas and in the competition they'd use our strategy against us.
For example, Joe came up with the idea of everyone sticking their hands out towards the center of our circle and every other person would have their hands facing up. The idea was to just move our hands side to side and to release the ball without having to throw it. This depended on how fast our reflexes were and how fast we could move our hands from side to side. It worked out pretty good because we were pretty fast at it.
Since the other team did the same thing, this proved who was a better and quicker team because we were not only creating a strategy but seeing who was better at the strategy we chose to use.
Next time we would probably stick with this same strategy but make up a 'fake' one that they could think we'd use but end up using the first idea so that they dont end up using the same idea we do.
It was a fun entertaintment and it's always nice to be outside a classroom. :)
