Expert game and thread , pen game

                                 Expert game and thread , pen game



Last PPD session we did two interesting game, which are the expert game and thread ,pen game. Both are the group games.  Firstly I would like to talk about expert game.



Firstly we divided into 4 group. Each group has at least 5 or 6 members and everyone had to tell to what their expertise field. Everybody were expertise for something in different fields. Then we had to introduce product that combine using three expertise area in each group. Our group decided to make product using three expertise area which are hand made things, reading and ridding motor bikes. Madam gave us to half and hours to make the product finally we decided to make a “glass cover” . Then we presented  our product to others and they asked some question from us. We could not answer every question because our product is not good combination of expertise area. But madam said out product was good than other group’s product. I think all of us did not get idea correctly about the game. But we tried to make good product as much as we could. 



But we learnt about some good points in this game. How to make a better decision with other ideas and think Creative ideas.

Thread and pen game






Then I would like to talk about thread and pen game. Actually it was a best challenge for us. First madam gave us a pen, thread, cello tape, A4 sheet. She was not going to explain too much about game she just said write a word using which I provided to you. Madam showed a word “VIPER” which we need to write. Then she collected cello tape from each group which gave us. Then we confused, some groups planned to write a word getting help from cello tape. They dropped their idea and think another way.

                                        But our group well planned to write a word using thread and pen. It was a good plan. But it was a little bit hard. Because everyone had to involve to complete this task. Here we bounded pen to thread and each member in our group holding thread to tried drawing a word in A4 sheet.


Here we got the main point is that sometime group work is not easy. We should manged properly. And how to work with changing situation, HOW to use resources properly. Those are , we learnt from this game. Actually it was a very interesting game.
