Team building

On our team building night we did many games developed our team work skills. We did a games like spaghetti where we all held hands with 2 random people in a circle and worked together to get back into a circle without being twisted. We also played a game where we all sat in a circle, blind folded, all holding one piece of rope and we had to try make it into a perfect square and then a star, which was very difficult!

Past 2 weeks at Explorers

Explorers have been back for two weeks now. We’re all excited for the new programme to drop so until it does we have been playing some old-school games as well as some classic Explorer favourites One week we’ve had merry miming game charades. Frustrating, confusing and amusing in equal measure the Explorers enjoyed this one! One syllable, sounds like Sun. Yep, you guessed it, it was fun. Explorer’s have also enjoyed some firm favourites like dodgeball and bulldog among others. If you’ve never played dodgeball the rules are simple. Just don’t get hit by the ball. The clues in the name you see, dodge-ball. Keep your eyes peeled online for the new programme which should be appearing very soon. It’s going to be filled with creative and exhilarating activities. Is there another organisation where you can find activities like Murder Mystery nights and axe throwing all in the same place? I can’t think of anywhere either.

Cooking Challenge

The first full week at explorer was a cook off challenge. The unit was split into groups and given 15 minutes to go into Tesco and buy food for 2 courses one main and either a desert or starter with only £5. Team MEB were victorious with spaghetti carbonara for the main and a delicious home made chocolate cake. The losers were team diabetes with a strange choice of doughnuts wrapped in bacon and gnocchi in a tomato sauce. The runners up had a delicious stir fry and pancakes with chocolate sauce just pipped by teamwork. {joomplucat:10 limit=4}
