This
is a quick exercise to help bring together the group of
volunteers and check in with them. It can be done at the
beginning, middle, or end of a meeting or the service.
Everyone
stands in a tight circle, shoulder to shoulder. The leader
asks a question, and every member of the group gives a one
word answer. Questions could address any topic that focuses
on the project or on a situation the group might be facing.
Questions might be
- "How
do you think the project's going so far?"
- "How
are you feeling?"
- "What
did you think/feel when ___________ happened?"
Another
version of this activity is Weather
Report. Group members use weather terms to relate how
they're feeling. Examples might include sunny, partly
cloudy, warm, rainy, and hazy.
Emotional
Whip
is another variation. In this activity, volunteers act out
their feelings. They could show that they feel strong,
loved, tired, frustrated, etc.
