Who Dares? (Who is willing to? Is there a volunteer?)
Social
Author: Aleix Barrera, Diego Castro & David Rodriguez-Gomez
Facilitated by the teacher

The aim is to convey the idea that it is easier to be motivated and participate when we know what is expected of us.

20-30 mins

15 students

Whiteboard, pen & post-its

Steps
- The teacher asks for a number of volunteers (approx 3 – 4 people). This number will be dependent on the size of the group.
- The teacher explains that this activity will generate a debate about motivations, resistance and fears etc. It is not about participating in a specific game or task.
- The students explain their motivations for volunteering e.g. what they wanted to achieve by volunteering.
- The students who did not volunteer should also explain their thoughts and why they did not volunteer.
- The students take note of all the comments and review them.

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