Happy New Year !!! Let’s keep talking!
Dynamis é uma palavra grega que significa força, energia, ação. Quando Kurt Lewinutilizou essa expressão e começou a pesquisar os grupos, seu objetivo era o de ensinar às pessoas comportamentos novos através de Dinâmica de Grupo, ou seja, através da discussão e de decisão em grupo, em substituição ao método tradicional de transmissão sistemática de conhecimentos.
O que se espera alcançar de resultados com a utilização de Dinâmica de grupo:
a) Desinibir a capacidade criadora dos participantes, levando-os a se tornarem bastantes desenvoltos;
b) Aumentar as transformações no grupo, alterando sua produtividade;
c) Aumentar a coesão do grupo;
d) Proporcionar um aperfeiçoamento do trabalho coletivo, procurando atingir, através dos grupos, metas socialmente desejáveis, podendo, também, aumentar sua eficiência, fundamentando-a num firme conhecimento das leis que governam a vida do grupo;
e) Transformar o potencial do grupo, fazendo-o crescer em igualdade harmônica de relacionamento interpessoal.
Algumas ideias para você adaptar aos seus grupos de FI, FII ou Ensino Médio
How well do you know your partner?
Put students in pairs to discuss their likes and dislikes, possessions, beliefs and preferences. Tell them to find out as much as they can about each other, as they will be quizzed on this information later. Then have each pair write ten questions to ask another pair about their likes and dislikes, possessions, etc. Tell students that one pair will ask questions at a time. Each partner must answer all the questions in writing twice, once for himself and once for his partner. Explain that they are not to discuss their answers or in any way indicate to each other what the answers might be. Then have the pairs ask the questions again while the other pair reads the answers out loud.
The Color Game: Have students work in large groups or do this activity as a class. As them to sit in a circle and tell each other their favorite color. Students must try and remember the colors. They can’t write them down. My favorite color is xxx and hers is xxx. As soon as students make a mistake, the person whose color was said incorrectly takes over and starts again with My favorite color is xxx…
A Day in the Life of…: Students work in groups. Assign a time of day to each student in the group. Use in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, and at night. Ask each group to create an imaginary person. Then tell each student in the group to write several sentences about what this imaginary person does at the time of day assigned to him or her above. Have the group put the sentences into a story and read the story to the class.
20 Questions: What am I?:
Instruct students to think of an animal, but not to tell anyone. Have them make notes on the appearance and the living habits of this animal. Brainstorm with students what to make notes on, such as where the animal lives, when it sleeps, what it eats, if it lives alone or with others, what noise it makes. Tell them to ask yes/ no questions until they discover the animal each group member is thinking of or until they have asked twenty questions maximum.
Team work: What’s the question?
Divide the class into two teams. Have teams think of and write down ten questions and answers. Circulate to check accuracy. Then have the two teams face each other. The first student from one team says one of their answers. The first student from the other team attempts to say the question. If he or she says an appropriate question, the second member from the team that answered says an answer. If a student can’t provide an appropriate question, the next team member from the first team says another answer. The first team to finish all their answers wins. If you don’t have enough time, ask students to write only 5 questions and answers.
