The expert game/ pen and thread game

                        Expert game

                                               Another day of PPD session. Madam asked to divide into five groups. Each group had five or six members. Then each group had to choose three persons who expertised in any area. Our group chose persons who expertised in maths, designing and vehicles. Then madam asked to each expertisis to teach their area to other group members. After that we had to create a a new invention which is made by combining above expertised areas. Our group suggested many lot of new ideas. From all of them we concluded to make a robotic  toy car.

While madam is describing what should we do 

                                                                            That car has new features. It has different colors in different situations. It is controlled by a remote controller. And also it can go through walls and if it hit in a barrier it can change its direction automatically. We named that product as "2B toys". Following are the new inventions of all groups. 

Group 1- Chicken Football Business

                This is a food business which is promoted using the                           football game. 

Group 2- Robotic toy car(our one)

Group 3- F.C.D. inc (master company)

Group 4- Paper quelling sports accessories

               Designing bags, accessories with paper quelling. 

Group 5- Football power kit (FPK)

   

                                               We got many lessons from this session. They are;

        1) using our expertised are, we can make new things.

        2) as a group we can do a task successfully. 

        3) teach others which you have known is very useful

        4) we should listen to others also when we work as a group

        5) ultimately the creation which made from combination of all

             ideas , is very successful.

                     

                        Pen and thread game 

                                                   This one is a one of joyful activity. We divided into three groups and each group received threads, a pen , a A4 sheet and a cello-tape. Our task is , write the world "symbol" without touching pen and paper and with co-operation of all members (when we are writing, the tread should be touched in all group members) Our group members got a cheated idea. We wrapped the pen using the tread. Madam observed that and told "don't be like a billgates, your method is illegal and try again"😀. Then we made a gadget like below one.

                                                                               Then we set the paper with table. One person hold the two rings and other members' from remained threads. Then we started to write. At the beginning it was very hard. After with the experience we could able control the pen and write the word. Ultimately, madam gave good comments for our one rather than other groups 😃.  Because we could able to write letter with same size with our controlling. From this small activity we learnt lot of things as previous activities. The main one is" how to work as a group".   

               
                                                                            

                                                

Barter puzzle

 Barter puzzle

                       This is a one of new journey of PPD activities.

We were divided into five groups. Each group had eight or less than eight members. We assigned a group leader. Madam asked to come forward to all group leaders with another guy who can help him. Then each leader got a picture and madam asked to cut it into seventy five pieces. After that she collected pieces to five bags separately. And also some pieces were exchanged with other pieces. Each group got a bag. But they didn't get the picture which leader had to cut. After that we were asked to make the picture.

     

Our group members

                                               That time our mind went back to childhood automatically 😆. The task like making a puzzle. We had to make a picture which we don't know what the picture is.  Absolutely it was a difficult challenge 😕. But our group got the challenge willingly and started to make the picture from one edge 💪. After a great effort we had to make the picture partially.

While making the puzzle

                                                                                        Because the some pieces were in other groups. We already had the pieces which don't match with our picture. Before the beginning madam said that, exchange the irrelevant pieces with other groups with discussing and however get the pieces we want. Then we exchanged pieces with others. But we didn't get all the pieces yet. Picture was with some missing parts 😩.

Picture which made partially

• how to work as a group
• how control others as a group member 
• we can defeat any kind of a problem with harmony 
• when solving a problem in our life, we have to use small tricks also. 

Introduction

What is personal progress development?

"Helping you to develop your independence and work skills.
The personal progress pathway is centered around you and designed to help you make progress in range of areas. Each person's pathway is specifically designed for them and flexibility suits individual needs."   

Is there any benefit from learning PPD? Yes absolutely; not only one, but also there are many advantages . Some of them are;

• Self-awareness: The ability to accurately recognize one's emotions and thoughts and their influence on behavior. This includes accurately assessing one's strengths and limitations and possessing a well grounded sense confidence and optimism.
• Self- management: The ability to regulate one's emotions, thoughts and behaviors effectively in different situations. This includes managing stress, controlling impulses, motivating oneself and setting and working toward achieving personal and academic goals.
• Social awareness: The ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others from diverse background and cultures, to understand social and ethical norms for behavior and to recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
• Relationship skills: The ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. This includes communicating dearly, listening actively, cooperating, resisting inappropriate social pressure, negotiating conflict constructively and seeking offering help when need.
• Responsible decision-making: The ability to make constructive and respectful choices about personal behavior and social interactions based on consideration of ethical standards, safety concerns, social norms, the realistic evaluation of consequences of various actions and the well being of self and others.

                 In PPD, all above skills are developed by using funny games and simple activities. So there is no stress or boring manner in this session.

Hey, there will be more activities ahead!!!
