Share with us your experience with the activities from this week, human camera and mine field. How was it being blind folded, did you trust yourself, your partner, what was good about the activity what could be changed?
I found it very easy to trust both partners during the activities. Honestly I hate being blind folded and it wasn't pleasant to have my sight taken away but after the first time threw with the mine field I started to relax.
My partner and I worked really well together so it wasn't bad at all. Also, it probably helped that we knew each other so trusting her came more easily than it could have with other people. However, I think I would be able to trust anyone in our class with that activity. -Amy Andersen
These activities were really fun. Being blindfolded was really cool because it was so different from what I'm used to. I trusted both of my partners, but on the last time through the minefield (when she couldn't talk to me) I was less trusting of myself because it was harder to pick out who she was and if I had responded to the wrong person, I might have run into someone or something. This was a great activity!
I think the activity was easy and fun. Like Amy said, it helped that we knew each other but I think it would have been fine with anyone. It became more difficult when the other partner wasnt on the mat with us because it was hard to hear. I still trusted her but not myself as much because she could have been saying something and I didnt hear it. Overall though it was really fun.
For both activities, I was able to trust my partner that I won't run into anything or anyone. The mine field activity was pretty scary because you weren't able to peek with a blindfold so you had to have 100% trust in your partner; where as in the human camera activity you could have peeked if you wanted to. I did trust myself and my partner though and we made it across successfully!
I loved these activities because they forced us to place trust in our partners. The mine field activity was scary because our partners weren't able to touch us. For the part where we couldn't say words, someone had the same noises I used, so my partner got confused and started listening to the other person instead of just me! To make the activity for challenging and mysterious, we should start outside of the gymnastics room. That way we won't know what the obstacles look like, so we can't really plan as much.
I think these were goo dactivities becuase we all learned to trust different people we usually wouldn't. I think it was interesting the final time we couldnt use words so we made sounds and my partner couldnt tell who was clapping to her. I tried my best to do it louder so she could here but it didn't really work that well. Anyway this was a fun activity where you start building up trust for the people you were with. -Valentina Carrero
I think that these activities made us more close to people that we would not usually trust. The mine field made the class think of different sounds that we could make so that we were not following other peoples directions and ending up in the mines. -Tim Jeronimus
This was the first trust activity I did with the class since I moved in and it actually went a lot better than I had expected. The first camera activity was no problem, but I thought navigating the 'mine field' with no talking or contact would be impossible. It turned out that as long as you trusted your partner and had good enough animal noises to communicate, it was really no problem. Fun activity. -Tyler Johnson
I had a lot of fun with these activities! I found both the human camera and the minefield to be easy and enjoyable, and I had no problem trusting my partners. I think after all the bonding games that we've played so far this year, we've come to the point where we can all trust each other. ~Marlisa Wang
My partners and I worked really well together. We were able to communicate well and feel comfortable without being able to see for ourselves. I think we, as a class, are coming to trust each other more and more with each activity we do. ~Taylor Wienold
The activities that we did were really fun for me! I think my partner and I worked together pretty well; we managed to work out a method of communication each time. I actually don't think it was difficult to trust my partner, and the blindfold took a lot of my hesitation away.
The activities were actually pretty fun, but I thought the human camera one was a little pointless. The Blindfold activity was interesting becuase you really had to trust your partner. I was able to trust my partner and myself. -Sarah Bounab
I liked these activities a lot! The first one where we were cameras and had to take pictures was a little bit slow but the next two days were awesome. I loved getting to know my partners and building up that trust with them. It was so cool and I think that i also built up trust in myself. go vikes. -Arianna Messner
I liked this activity. I didn't really feel uncomfortable with being blindfolded, which was quite surprising to me. The only problem I had was that I kept feeling like I was going to walk into something. One of the most interesting segments of the camera activity was when we couldn't go on the mat but we had to tell our partner where to go. We really had to work together to make sure we were hearing the correct voice. I think those activities were good at forming trust.
I liked this activity so much!! The first day was fun to do and it was interesting to be a camera. The next two days that we had blind folds i think it was okay when we had partner to guide though but when we couldn't guide the partner it was really hard to know which voice or claps is my partner but i think it was good to do. i think this activity make us to trust people and knowing about that person who we don't know well. (*^_^*)
I really liked this activity. It was pretty fun going through the "minefield". Maybe it's because my partner and I chose the easiest routes, but we weren't all too worried about getting across. As we went through more of the courses, we started paying more attention to the layouts instead of just winging it. It took a lot of concentration to figure out which voice was my partner's, but it worked out. I could definitely trust my partner; I knew that she wouldn't fool around and lead me astray.

During both activities I trusted myself as well as my partner. During the blindfold activity you definitely needed to trust your partner that they weren't going to let you touch any of the mines. Both activities were very fun and helped me and my classmates trust each other a lot more. -Ali Murauskis
I really liked these activities because I was able to trust my partners in both activities. I think this class has come a long way in being able to trust everyone, and I liked it because it made me realize how much more comfortable I am in this class. -Lauren Burke
I found that I could easily trust my partner in the activities where I was blindfolded. I actually found it harder to tell the blindfolded person what to do, as opposed to actually being blindfolded. The minefield activity was actually really fun, but also challenging. It was especially hard when we were not allowed to speak with normal words.
I liked this activity because it gave me the opportunity to get to know and trust my partner. When we werent allowed to talk, it got really hard for me because I kept forgeting what our sounds were.
