Creating connections

 

Activity

Name: Creating connections

Materials:

  • Three or more balls of wool with different colors.

Explanation:

First of all, the elders should be located forming a circle. Then, give the balls of wool to different people. They have to pass the ball between each other or even throw it if the person that should receive it is far for them, but previously, they have to say the name of the person that will receive it. Finally, all the wool is tangled with each other, creating a net that connect every one of the participants.

Objectives:

  • To build trust within the group, both to foster attitudes of solidarity and the group dimension itself.

  • Remember the names of the people around them.

Evaluation:

It is a good and funny activity, especially with the elders that are not used to have freedom and are not used to have relation with other people of the center. This game creates a friendly atmosphere between all of them.
