There will be a bin placed at the back of the classroom.
One member from each support group will be the leader and the rest of the support group are to be taken outside of the classroom and blindfolded. Blindfolded classmates then enter and are each given a crushed paper ball. The leader must then direct each member of the group to get the paper ball into the bin. PSLS will observe each of the leaders' different ways of leading, for example, some might say "do this" or "throw it this way" without additional explanation, cooperation or attempts at encouraging the group. The group typically becomes frustrated so the paper balls will take some time to land in the bin.

This will allow the Year 1s to understand that it is not always easy to be inclusive and be empathetic to everyone because we all have differences and may not be really comfortable with working with some people. However, they must always try their best to overcome any differences they may have, and be inclusive. Also remind them that being inclusive and understanding their classmates will allow them to reach their goal of being a bonded class.

In this icebreaker, PSLs will have to write a few random facts about themselves on the whiteboard. The Y1s will then have to guess which PSL does each fact describe.
Class 110'15 used this activity during the session on Resilience Y1s to be split into their support groups for the station games
[...] → DO NOT tell the Y1s whatever is in these brackets First Station: The group will be given a deck of cards. Using the cards, they have to make the tallest structure possible. [When the Y1s are nearly complete, PSL manning the station is to blow down the structure] Second Station: The group will be given a certain number of rice grains. The group will have to count the number of rice grains and tell the number to the PSL at the station. [PSLs will try to mess up the Y1s’ counting by messing up the grains or shouting out random numbers. Once the Y1s are done counting, even if the number they give is correct, PSL should tell them it is wrong and make them start over.] Third Station: The group members will each be given a pair of chopsticks. The group will then be given one ping pong ball, and they have to line up in a straight line. Their objective is to pass the ball from one end of the line to another using the chopsticks without dropping the ball. If they drop the ball, they will have to start over from the first person. Fourth Station: The group has to play a game of Jenga. However, instead of removing one block, they have to remove two blocks at a time. If the tower falls, the group has to rebuild it. [SPSLs to scare the Y1s when they are removing blocks] Class 109'15 used this activity during the session on Self-Management
