Find your Challenge

Find your Challenge

The aim is to identify the challenge.

1. The students pair up with someone who has the same shoe size as them.
2. The students ask each other questions about challenges in their lives e.g.

• Things that they find annoying
• Getting up in the morning
• Finding every item - socks, mobile etc.
   

3. Students take it in turns to ask each other questions about things they find annoying.  Students should take note of all their answers.
4. The students change partners and repeat the exercise again taking note of all their answers.
5. The students review all their answers and write down the 3 things they find must annoying on an post-it and place all their comments on the post-it wall.
6. The students review the comments and find the one thing they would be most happy find a solution to.
7. All the students formulate a question for their challenge.

Depending if the teachers want the students to work in groups or as a class, the students can vote on how many questions/challenges they want to bring to the next phase.

The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
