Every Tuesday we have Group Activity after lunch - from 2pm until 3 / 3:30pm. One day we drove up to Mount Ainsley and just relaxed there. A couple of weeks ago, Tim organized some "team-building games" for us. For something that looked like it would be a bit slow and not-so-interesting, it turned into a fun afternoon, full of laughs and hilarious moments!
Here are the pictures, to let you walk through the afternoon with us :-)
|
Tim and Toma: the first team to attempt the first activity. Not hugely successful =P |
|
Jamie and I, on the other hand... |
|
...made it... |
|
...look easy!!! |
|
Pros!! =D |
|
By the end we did rush a little, just to save ourselves... But we did it! |
|
Now for blind-folds. Toma, as you can see, was doing a wonderful job of leading and supporting poor Tim... |
|
We forced Toma out of his chair so that he could lead Tim more effectively =P |
|
"Tim, how will having your arms out in front of you be helpful??" |
|
Toma's turn! |
|
HAHA!!!! Love that Tim is explaining to Toma how far he needs to move, using hand signals... |
|
He made it!! |
|
My turn =D |
|
None of the fear that I was feeling inside is shown on my face here. Turns out, I can trust Jamie =P |
|
Everyone was telling me where to go - my job was to listen ONLY to Jamie, and ignore the others. Do you know how hard that is?! HARD! |
|
SO many laughs!!! Often laughing so much that I couldn't hear her directions... |
|
:-) |
|
Now, to lead Jamie! |
|
She made VERY.slow.progress. down the decking... |
|
...FINALLY making it to the stairs! Now that was funny =P |
|
Is she telling me to be quiet?! |
|
Ever-so-carefully stepping over the sliding-door-frame |
|
Esther =D |
|
I love that Esther also put her arms out in front of her :-) |
|
Janet very thoroughly leading Esther |
|
Jamie annoying poor Esther... |
|
hehehe - Esther thinking there was another step to go up =P GOLD! |
|
Finally - Janet's turn! |
|
I got to lead her, as well |
|
Hitting out at Tim, who was trying to get in her way... |
|
Tim, dashing in and out to make Janet think she was tripping on something. You can see that I was really watching out for my poor team-mate... *cough, cough* |
|
Go away, Tim!!! |
This was a really fun, light-hearted afternoon :-) I for one appreciated the time to just relax, be silly, laugh, and hang out with these guys out of the classroom :-)

The brick building is part of the main building of the base; the white building is the "gym"; and the houses along the side that you saw the in the above pictures are flats where a few families live. |
