From November through February, Miriam and Henry stayed after school once a week to meet with their "Destination Imagination" team. (nine kindergarten through second graders). They practiced teamwork and problem solving skills and worked together to prepare a play about Roy G. Biv's birthday party.
In addition to creating the play, they learned to solve 'instant challenges' together. For example, "Using nothing but this stack of paper, build the tallest tower you can in 5 minutes." Although they had an adult volunteer working with them, the script was completely written by them. They presented their play at a competition at the beginning of March (their age group was non-competitive) and they solved an 'instant challenge' in front of a panel of judges. It was a good experience for them.
This video does not include the full version of the play, just a few clips of their parts. No pressure for anyone to watch - this one is just for their memories.
