Journal Entry - For Jan. 19th

This week we're supposed to work on creating activities for a Toolkit that can be used by all the other mentors as icebreaker of sorts. Something to do with your Protégé to either get to know them, or just as something fun to do.

I am completely at a loss with this one.

The example that was given in class was drawing a pig, and then having your drawing interpreted as to what sort of personality you have based on your drawing style. It was pretty cute.

I've done a bit of looking and found a few things that would be fun, but I'm not sure about how involved (or, dare I say it, messy) the activities should be. I'd like to do something really interesting that would get the kids (students? little people?) involved and something that they would enjoy, but it's been an awfully long time since I was in middle school and I don't quite remember what it was that I liked to do.

I'm sure that something will come to me eventually.
