Basecamp · Week 2 — Building Our Community

Social-EmotionalDraftWhole groupWeek 2

Objectives

Wildlings explore what it means to belong to a group of twelve. The core question is 'How do we take care of each other and this room?'

Materials

mural paper, paint, interview question cards, outdoor game equipment

Activities

Partner interviews help Wildlings learn one new thing about a peer each day. The group practices simple conflict-repair language through role play. A shared mural or wall piece begins, to which every Wildling adds something each week. Outdoor movement games reinforce turn-taking and cooperation. The week ends with naming classroom jobs and responsibilities.

Coach notes

Coaches model naming feelings aloud and repairing small ruptures quickly and visibly.
