Tonight's Value: Names!Today's Goals:
Today's Connection to Go for the Gold: Learning each other's names is part of going for the gold because the way we can be better friends, better teammates, better members of our families, better neighbors all starts with knowing the people around us. When we know each other and begin to understand each other, everything is so much better and more fun than when we are just on our own. 1. Introduce Today's Theme: Names! This week we are going to learn several ways that we can GO FOR THE GOLD together as a team. The first way we do that is to learn each other’s names. Who can tell me one reason names are important? why do people and things have names? - names set things apart from other things. - names define who we are, they tell other people who we are - names can say things about us or give us goals to live up to (ex. if you are named after your grandfather whose name means ‘strong,’ you might want to try to be very strong, or to be like your grandfather in other ways.) - names can tell us about where people are from (ex. some names are common to certain parts of the world - the name Seamus comes from Ireland, the name Helima has Arabic origin, and it means gentle, mild-mannered, and generous.) Part of going for the gold includes learning each other's names because the way we can be good friends, good neighbors, good members of our families, good teammates, all starts with knowing the people around us. When we know each other and begin to understand each other, everything is so much better than when we are just on our own. If Coach _________ is dribbling down the field and sees his teammate across the field, wide open, but doesn't know her name, he can't very well pass her the ball can he? Or if __________ is at school and needs help with an assignment, she can't ask for that help or help someone else if she doesn't know her classmates. Learning names is something easy and yet SO important! Let's start by playing a fun game that will help us do this: 2. Today's Game Younger Divisions Have kids and coaces sit in a circle by team. (important that teams are separate, this will be too crazy if done with whole division together.) This is a call and response activity, so you’ll want to start by setting a beat (clapping or hands on knees). Coach/volunteer starts: "My name is Kaiti and I like goats.” Everyone echoes this: "Your name is Kaiti and you like goats." Next person (to right or left of person who starts): "My name is Brian and I like soccer" Everyone: "Your name is Brian and you like soccer" If the 2nd-3rd graders seem on top of this, you can add in rules like “we all have to stay on the beat or we start over!” With the 1st graders, focus on the whole team being engaged and participating. Older Divisions - Hand Shake Game Team stands in a circle and the Curriculum Coach begins the game by going across the circle to a player, looking him in the eye and, shaking his hand, says, “Hello, I'm Coach Suzie.” The player then says “Hello, Coach Suzie, I'm Johnny.” Coach Suzie then takes Johnny's spot and Johnny crosses the circle and introduces himself to another teammate in the same way. This goes on until everyone has crossed the circle and the last person introduces herself to Coach Suzie, starting it back over. Then repeat the cycle, making the kids stay in the same order and this time go faster. Suzie will go to Johnny, Johnny to Megan, Megan, to Amir, Amir to Helima, Halima back to Coach Suzie. (Keep in mind each time they have to say the names, look the other person in the eye, and run to their spot). Go through the cycle a few times until they are running to get through it. Then pause the game and say, “OK, team I want you now to raise your right hand in the air.” Wait till everyone does so. “Ok, now I want you to take your right hand and point it at the person who you ran across to meet.” (wait till they do that) “Ok, keeping your right hand out, I want you to take your left hand and point to the person who ran to meet you.” “Ok, I want everyone to look in front of you at our team, and answer me, if you were a bird flying above this what would it look like? A spider web, a net? Well let's see if we can form one.” Walk forward slowly, with hands still out, until each player has grabbed hands with the two people they were introduced to. Tell your team to get ready and then start to lean slowly backwards, until there is slight tension on their grasps. After a moment or two of leaning back, bring them back to a regular stance. “Wasn't that cool? We were holding each other up as a team. The ties we made even just by meeting each other and learning each other's names can be powerful and strong. We don't learn each other's names just to do so, but because to start relationships and community with others is to go from being as strong as just one person, to as strong as many. And we'll learn over the next several days that each and every person on our team is important to the team. Just like if someone let go when we were all leaning backward, what would happen? That's right, we'd all fall to the ground!” On the count of 3, I want everyone to shout as loudly as they can the two names of the people on our team who they met tonight! 2. Today's Ring Activity Younger Divisions Pass out tonight's gold medals. Kids will write: My name is ______________ I was named by _________________ My name means ______________________ If there is time and kids want to ask their parents for the answers to the 2nd two fill-ins, let them go ask them. If not, tell them they can earn an extra medal for their team if they go home and ask and bring back the answer tomorrow. Older Divisions Kids should be in pairs. Pass out tonight's gold medals . They will have a space for: My friend's name is ______________ His name means ______________________. If there is time and kids want to ask parents for the answers to the 2nd two fill-ins, let them go ask them. If not, tell them they can earn an extra medal for their team if they go home and ask and bring back the answer tomorrow. Curriculum Team should collect medals and glue them to division ring.
