TABLEtalk started again yesterday ππ
It was sooooooooo wonderful last night to welcome back familiar faces from last term, but also to welcome eight newcomers to TABLEtalk. Amongst the students we had a wide range of nations represented, including: Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Lithuania, Jordan, Thailand, Iran, Austria, Hungary, Nigeria, UK and South Korea (hope I haven't missed anyone??).
Last night was primarily a social, getting-to-know you evening. There was a lot of opportunity to chat in breakout rooms and find out more about each other.
We also played a 'game' called "Would you rather ..." Initially, I presented the whole group with two questions to respond to:
1. Would you rather visit the Antarctic or the Sahara Desert?
2. Would you rather go into the past to visit your ancestors or travel into the future to meet your great, great grandchildren?
Then there was time in smaller groups for students to create and discuss their own 'would you rather ...' questions. As always, I was blown away by the creativity of thinking π Here's just a sample of some of the other questions asked:
Would your rather give up
music or give up books?
Would you rather get
married or live alone?
Would you rather be able
to fly or be invisible?
Would you rather star in a scary movie
or in a romantic movie?
Would you rather starve for 5 days
each month or have 5 days of meals
cooked by complete strangers
The topic for next week is going to be based around music and our question to think about in advance is ... how important is music within your culture?
These games seem quite interesting. I am surely gonna join next Tabletalk.π
