Skills Training, 1 June 2021

Hello Guides!

Due to the new Covid-19 measures in place, we had to conduct our 集合 online. We played several games --- Quizizz, Identify the Song, Skribbl.io and Mafia. To end of the 集合, we had Patrol Corner where we got to know one another better. 

 

Quizizz

Everyone had to compete with each other to see who gets the most number of points at the end. The aim of this game was to allow everyone to recap on their Guides knowledge.




Reflection from a Year 3

Quizziz was the first activity of our 集合. Personally, I feel that this quiz was a good way of allowing us to revise on how well we know our Guides notes and areas where we could read up more on. There were a total of 20 questions that were given to us and the majority of us were able to get some questions correct. Through this activity, I realised that I was not very familiar with questions related to first aid as I had taken a longer time to answer them. Thus, I would have to familiarise myself with the Guides notes and there is still much more room for improvement. Since this was a quiz, competing with others made the whole activity much more exciting and motivated us to try our very best to complete this activity. Overall, it was an enjoyable and enriching activity.


Identify the Song

A total of 15 minutes is given for this activity where each person would have to be the fastest to guess the song being played so as to obtain points for their patrol.






Reflection from a Year 3

During 集合, we participated in an activity called “Identify the Song”. It was extremely fun as it set a more chill atmosphere to vibe to and we can all get to enjoy it despite being confined at home due to the restrictions present. Some Guides songs were pretty nostalgic as it made me recall the memories in Year 1 where we first entered Guides. We were clueless and in a complete state of confusion for most of the 集合s. The pop songs chosen were amazing too, it allowed us to explore the different genres of songs. The Year 2s were very active and answered a lot of the questions, especially when it came to the Kpop songs. All in all, I found this activity really fun and it allowed me to relax.


Skribbl.io

During this game, we split into our various patrols. We would have to take turns to draw the given Guides words and the other patrol members would have to guess the word. This not only allowed everyone to recap on their Guides knowledge, but also the common activities we usually do in Guides.

 

Reflection from a Year 3

On 1 June, we had the last 集合 together with the Year 4s. It was a pity that we could not have a physical 集合 due to Covid-19, hence it was held through zoom instead. Nevertheless, the seniors came up with ways such that we could still bond with one another. One of the activities carried out as a patrol was to play Skribbl.io. We will take turns to draw while others will try to guess a word based on our drawing. When it was our turn to draw, we chose a word and tried our best to draw it in a way everyone will understand. It was interesting to see how everyone interpreted the drawings differently. There were also a few times where we immediately guessed the word correctly. All of the words were customised and related to Guides. In this way, we are able to refresh our memory on the basic knowledge too. Overall, it was a fun and engaging activity for us, and we enjoyed playing with our patrol.

 

Mafia

This game was also played within the patrol. Each patrol member would be given a role --- Mafia, Doctor, Detective or Civilian. This was an opportunity for the juniors to bond with their Year 4s before they step down soon.




Reflection from a Year 3

Though we had a online 集合 last week due to the pandemic, we still managed to spend time and bond with each other together as a patrol through a game of Mafia. This was an interesting game as it was a physical game but was moved online. Hence, the way the game was executed was different and was a new experience of Mafia. For example, instead of closing our eyes we had to turn off our cameras  and instead of pointing out who to kill, save and check, we had to message on Whatsapp. During this game, we had fun during discussions and managed to enjoy the game as a patrol. Initially, we were slightly awkward as we have not had a 集合 for a long time and furthermore, this was an online 集合 held over zoom. Nonetheless, after a few rounds of nightfall, we started discussing more about finding out the werewolves, allowing us to break the ice a little. In a nutshell, it was an engaging and interesting game of Mafia.


Patrol Corner





Reflection from a Year 3

For Patrol Corner, my patrol decided to share about our favourite experience in Guides. Starting with the Year 4s, we all took turns, batch by batch, to share our experiences. It was very interesting to listen to all the different experiences for each batch as even though we had mostly gone through the same things, all our viewpoints and mindsets towards each activity differed slightly. This resulted in different experiences being held at different levels of importance for each of my patrol mates, myself included. For example, my favourite experience was preparing and going through outdoor cooking, an experience that the Year 1s and Year 2s have unfortunately not gone through due to the pandemic. However, to another patrol member, Orientation Preparation was their favourite experience. Another common favourite was about the people. A few of my patrol mates did not particularly enjoy a definite experience. Rather, they enjoyed the time spent with the people around them.


Although this 集合 had to be conducted online, we hope everyone still managed to have fun participating in the activities planned!
