This is group two, the group that I was in. We're doing stress challenge B. In the game we were playing we had to pretend we were on the edge of a cliff on the Grand Canyon. "The edge of a cliff" was really a log. We had to line up according to birthdays starting with January and ending with December, without touching the ground. Otherwise you were dead. Obviously in the picture a boy in my class fell off the log and I was telling him he was dead.
In this picture, Ms. Gallagher's group attempts to lift the strongest person in the group over the wall so he can help pull other people over. This activity is easy because the people that have already gone over can come around and help push people up.
I was trying to get over a wall about 7 feet tall. I was the first one over the wall. Everyone helped me get over the wall. I jumped off the ledge before I could help someone else over the wall.
This is when we go over the wall. Three people are on top and everyone else is on the bottom and they try to catch people if they fall. Two or three people hold a person up high enough to reach one of the kids on top's hand and the other two kids pull him up. This is one of the funnest activities. Everyone does a lot of work. Everyone has to work together. If you don't work together then you can't get over.
It was cool trying to get people over the wall. It took a lot of patience, only because some people were afraid of heights. It was also hard to get people over the wall, because they were squirming around. The last person we put over the wall ran and jumped 2 feet in the air and we caught him and threw him over!
I think going over the wall was the best stress challenge. The wall is when three spotters push you up over a perfectly flat wall.You have to use your upper body strength. Stress challenge is definitely the best activity, not that the others are bad, they're just not great.
This is a picture of my group and I doing stress challenge B. We had to push everybody over a wall. It was impossible, but it was still fun. The last person was the hardest but we did it!
In this picture Ms. Gallagher's group is trying to shimmy across a swinging log. The girl on the log is trying to grab onto the log and crawl across to touch the other side.
