the activities we did this past week have been fun but they were also scary! I felt confident as the faller for the most part because everyone was paying attention and ready. Someties I didn't feel that confident being the catcher cause I didn't want to drop the person falling! So i stuck to catching their feet or hands hehe :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the activities we did this past week i thought they were fun especially when i was the faller. Catching them was a little more difficult because you had to make sure that you were ready and everything, but that was fun too.
ReplyDeleteThe activities we did this week were fun and yet challenging. I enjoyed the Trust Lean, Trust Pendulum, Willow in the Wind. When it came to the Levitation and swaying leaves, I lost trust with my group because they ended up swaying me with my feet higher up then my head. when i landed, my head landed first and then ten seconds later my feet. I enjoyed the trust fall, even though I messed up the first time. It was great to be able to do this as a team. The best part for me was catching the people fall, and watching them fall. I really enjoyed it when we raised the height and people fell from that height. Also something scary was that we let jennifer lay down on the floor and had people still fall into our hands.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the trust falls really helped us get comfortable with other people in the class. The actual trust fall was the most nerve racking because you had to be falling for a longer amount of time and had more of an opportunity to bail. Which would be bad. The trust fall in the video would have been bad for the faller because she had to REALLY trust her catchers.
ReplyDeleteI was really scared when I was the faller, even though I knew that my group wouldn't let me fall on purpose. As the catcher, I was nervous for the person falling and scared that we wouldn't catch them. I think that these activities really forced me to trust the people in our class.
ReplyDeleteI think that all the activities were helful in trusting everyone. They were fun and scary and very entertaining!!
ReplyDeleteI was really nervous about the Levitate and the trust fall on friday, but I think I have grown to trust the people in the class enough to know that they wouldn't let me fall. It was just as much pressure to catch the people though, because if we didn't fully commit to what we were doing, the person would fall.
ReplyDeleteI would be a lot more scared to do the trust falls like in that video, because a lot more could go wrong.
the trust leans and such weren't that scary. trust falls were a bit of a different story but once you did it you overcame your fear and learned to trust the people in your group quite a bit. there was a lot of encouraging to go along with that
ReplyDeletei think that these activities were fun but also kind of scary. They really got us to learn how to trust our peers more. I thought it was scary falling, but more scary catching because the blame would be on you if you dont catch someone. I would be okay if I did something like in the video because Im almost positively sure that I trust all my classmates.
ReplyDeleteI liked all the trust fall activities and thought that they were all fun, especially the "stiff as a board, light as a feather on." They taught us to work together and to trust each other. The only time I didn't like being the person who was don't the trusting was when I accidentally didn't do my own part and forgot the keep by body straight. I'm sorry for anyone who had a hard time catching me in the trust fall.
ReplyDeleteI dont really understand what the point is of the extreme trust fall. I guess you have to be a little more trusting that they will be there when you fall, but why did they have to hide or why did she have to turn around?
ReplyDeleteI thought our trust fall was really fun. I wasn't scared for the trust fall but I was nervous about the lift. I am more scared of being lifted than falling. I thought it was a great activity to bring everyone togther as a community and I had fun and well, the whole thing was about trust. We also have to be responsible otherwise people could get hurt. I can't wait to climb!
I think these activities definatly tested our trust with other people.. It was a little scary to fall off the block but i knew if I did it right at stayed tight then I would be fine and i trusted the people catching me.
ReplyDeletetrust leans were okay, except bonjoon dropped me just for fun. so i didn't really trust him when i did my trust fall, but i did trust everyone else. the trust fall,,, it hurt. i had a headache and backache for the whole day and the day after. the impact of the fall was really hard and scary. when we had to catch people for the first time, it was really different.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of these activities, and I think they helped us better earn each others trust. My favorite activity was the Float Like a Leaf exercise because it was fun to be lifted that high in the air. During the trust fall, I think the hardest thing for me was when I stood up at the top of the mat waiting to be caught, because that is when the anticipation and nervousness really hit me. However I think everyone did a great job trusting and catching each other. I think I would be able to do a fall like the one in the video, but I would still be really nervous while I would wait to be caught.
ReplyDeleteThroughout this week, I thought all the activities were thrilling. Being the catcher allowed everyone to accept the responsibility that each and everyone of will need for the rest of the year. I felt like I needed to focus the entire time so no one would mistrust me. Being dropped was the more thrilling part. All I could do was hope that the people below me wouldn't drop me and the rest was up to fate. Thank God no one really got hurt. Overall, this class just keeps getting better and better.

To me, the trust fall was a good experience. While i was getting up to the top and getting ready, i started feeling anxious and nervous. Despite my nervousness, i forced myself to just let go when i said "falling." After i fell i felt relieved just like others who went through the trust falls. I think after more practice and different activities, our class will learn to have more trust in eachother.
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult for me at first to trust the people who were catching me, since I had only been in the class for about a week, but once I fell I was grateful for everyone being right there for me. As for being a catcher, I almost felt like there was too much pressure to catch the person - what if I dropped her? But having everyone else around for support helped a ton.
ReplyDeleteit was difficult to do the trust leans and pendulum and i trust everyone a little more now, but i still always had to remind myself that no one had been dropped. Unfortunately i still couldn't bring myself todo a trust fall not because i don't trust others but because i don't trust myself, i know that i would crumple and hurt someone, I've done it before
ReplyDeleteIt was really scary to go up on top of the block and fall. It wasn't so much a trust issue, it was more a problem with falling. I, and most likely a majority of people knew that the spotters would catch us, but it still doesn't make falling any easier. Although the other activities in the wrestling room defiantly helped.
ReplyDeletebeing as scared of heights as i am i was really freaked out but the encouragement from helped out a great deal. it wasn't that bad after all but NEVER will i do what they did in that video !
ReplyDeletethe trust activities got harder and harder as we went along. the first day, with the small trust falls and the pendulum weren't that hard. the lifting ones we did was harder for me. i was nervous to do that one, but it turned out to not be that bad. for the trust falls, i was really really scared. i'm not the lightest person in the class, and i wasn't sure if they would drop me. i finally did it, and they didn't drop me. i'm learning to trust everyone more through these activities.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and helped us trust each other, but i think it isn't about trust to me. I think it is more about falling down.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the trust fall was a really great experience. I thought it was a little scary standing up there but after I had fallen, I didnt think it was that bad. Im glad my group caught me too. The trust falls we did in the wrestling room were definitely not as bad. I think the whole class did great. As for the video, I think it might be fun to try it even though I dont know how things will turn out.
ReplyDeleteThe trust activities were really fun and they were a good way to build up trust. I think that I could trust most of the people in class to make sure I'm safe. I am naturally a pretty trusting person, so the trust fall was fun because I knew that I would be caught, it was just a matter of not knowing when I would hit their arms. I also think that doing the trust fall like in the video would be nerve racking, especially if you couldn't hear them coming back from hiding.
ReplyDeleteThe trust falls were actually really fun. I was scared at first but once i went i was fine with it. I was nervous about trusting the people in our class that I haven't known for that long but after falling I definitely trust everyone. FOr the video I woulod be so nervous so I don't know if I would be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteThese activities were pretty fun. My group was really great and they made me feel comfortable pretty quickly. It was scary at first but then it was actually really cool. It wasn't as hard or scary as I thought it was going to be. I would totally do it again.
