Activity details
Duration: 15 minutes
Participants: 2 - 24 people
Cost: $ 0
Age range: 7-25 years old
Equipments
none required
Goal:
Become aware of the importance of trust in the group
Knowing how to welcome and let yourself be welcomed to gain self-confidence
Steps
- Form a tight circle of about 8 people.
- One person stands in the middle of the circle (or is positioned between two other players if the group is small). This person closes his eyes. She remains with her feet together, firmly anchored to the ground, and stiffens.
- The person in the center of the circle drops to one side (like a tree blowing in the wind). The other members of the group place their hands in front of them, to catch up with the person and move them from one to the other.
It is important to specify that the body of the person whose eyes are closed must be respected (we do not touch the chest, we do not grab by the neck, etc.)
- Each person in the group should in turn go to the middle, so that the experiences can be shared by all.
CONCRETELY :
- *Was it easy for you to trust your teammate?
fear of falling, unknown teammate before the game, diversity, ...
FOR FURTHER :
- Why is it very important to trust your teammate/friend in general?
Remember to properly reframe discussions on commitment (and not on feelings), with friendship as an example.
- Why is it important to trust to commit?
- What are the different ways to get involved? (give very concrete examples)
-Choose to engage or associate with his friend and express this choice
- Talk to each other, share real things (problems, joys, questions, doubts, sorrows, sufferings...), express their feelings, their dreams, their wishes, their aspirations
- Help my friend, do a favor
- Expressing gratitude to his friend, valuing him
- Share good times, quality times, play together
- To forgive
#commitment #trust
- Trust: Commitment implies, among other things, being able to trust others, being able to rely on others in order to be able to cooperate better with them.
The more I trust my teammates, the more fun the Drunk Bottle game is. In work, the more I trust my teammates, the better the result will be
- Responsibility: If we work together, if we cooperate, we can transform things to improve them. We cannot achieve good results if we think that the responsibility is to work alone to succeed alone. Responsibility, making things better, is demanding:
-It requires being able to cooperate with others, being able to lean on and rely on others.
-It requires a certain letting go, it requires not believing and not wanting that everything goes through us and that nothing is done without us.
- This requires trust in others so that they themselves take their place and exercise all the responsibility of which they are capable. Otherwise it leaves them in an infantile state, like mere executors.
- This requires that I be able to accept letting myself be supported, helped by others.
- Everyone has their place: On the contrary, this does not mean that I lose responsibility, that I become purely passive and negligent with regard to my responsibilities. All of this must be lived together in the discernment of different situations.
Why is it important to trust to commit?
- to overcome fears
- to make good decisions
- for social life, to be able to live in community
- to build a true and fair relationship with others
Good advice: the best commitment is friendship!
Big success for this activity. We made small circles of 8, girls and boys separated. Everyone played the game and laughed a lot. I recommend that bamboo do it with the children, they are touched by it and it amuses everyone, including you!
No pb! Some find it hard to let go but by spending a little time there almost everyone succeeds.

When the children are of very different ages and builds, care must be taken in creating groups. 1 to 2 students which ensures security and more is better.

Done with Boarding Masters/Mistresses as part of a course I led on the charter and activities. To illustrate the importance of trust to others. Laughter guaranteed!

Grade 9 fireplaces; The godchildren know each other well, they let themselves go and really trust others. The girls (few, 3) didn't want to be the 'bottle' because they weren't comfortable letting themselves fall into the boys' arms. Not enough girls to make a 2nd circle.

Laughter guaranteed! Don't be too far apart. Do it outside on grass to ensure small falls.
