* 4 children, * 4 long logs of wood, * A big room, a long as the 4 logs of wood put together.
Ask the children to imagine that the room is a big river. Give each child a log of wood telling him/her the log can be used as a bridge to cross the river. Let each child try crossing with the log, which in most cases will not be able to do. Now suggest that they can take help of friends in crossing the river. Children will experiment with borrowing 1 log, then 2, and ultimately 3 and will sure be able to use their discretion to cross the imaginary river, the room.
* The art of communication and negotiation is cultivated. * The importance of team building and cooperation is inculcated. * Social skills are cultivated.
