I'm a middle school teacher on Long Island. I'm hosting Survivor as an 'Social and Emotional' learning activity. I'm looking for 5 activities that students can play to build sportsmanship, cooperation, etc. I'm hoping they could be 5 minute fun activities that could be done in a group. Once the students get through all five stations, they win. I played it last year and the kids had a lot of fun. If possible, I would like to revise it so it's not the same stations.
TIA

They have to use everything given and it must stand freely

Hey girlie, we did this at camp and it worked awesome..
Each group is given the same materials found in the recyclables, and has to construct a diarama (sorry..spelling not good) of one part of the country. For example, we had egg cartons and one group decided to make colorado... Each one had to have a fact about it as well. The groups were only allowed to speak per person, for instance, each group was given a minute to think quietly. Then, they went around and showing the pieces explained what they saw in the pieces that they had. They then had 10 minutes to, quietly, as a group construct this. It really made the children (ages 12-14) work towards their strengths.
