How do we want to share space together this year?
Chopstick Challenge: Start with one finger holding your chopstick upright. Pass the chopstick by grabbing someone else's chopstick before it hits the table. Your team's goal is to have 6 consecutive successful passes - meaning everyone at the table succeeds each time. When you get a successful pass - call it out "one", and then "two" and then "three" until you reach six in a row. If one person drops the chopstick, start over at "one".
​
Take Aways: How did your team learn to make a successful pass and a then a series of passes?​
