Report: Thinkers' Club Session 29

Date: 8th March, 2015
Session # 29
Report written by: Fatima Salman

In this session, we discussed various topics  and did an activity. We discussed sports, and the ongoing Cricket World Cup. We talked about how cricket originated, and its history. We talked about different types of sports.
The activity we did was called a Helium Stick activity. In it, the people were divided in two, and they had to stand across each other. The helium stick, an ordinary lightweight rod, was brought and everyone had to put out their index fingers on which the stick had to be balanced with one finger of each person and slowly lowered down to the ground. The activity was very interesting and it's rules were:

  1. Everyone's finger should be touching the helium stick during the whole activity.
  2. You are not allowed to grab the stick or use any other fingers than one index finger.
  3. Everyone has to lower the stick to the ground completely.
  4. If any of the rules get broken, the activity has to be started again.
It was fun and challenging. I don't think anyone but those who have done this activity can understand what the challenges in it are. Like everyone has to be touching the helium stick at all times, so we have to lower it together, at the same speed, so everyone is touching the stick. Here is a detailed description of the Helium stick activity.
For home task, we can do some artwork or writing on Emotions. This home task was given last time, but as some people haven't completed it yet, they can do it in this week.

Thank you.

  1. Positive and negative emotions both are natural. We can do well if we are good enough to know how to react to them and how to mantain balance between them.

  2. Sounds like it was a great session! Cool - is cricket a sport that's played often in Pakistan? It's the same here in the UK. The Helium Stick activity sounds really cool! I've already submitted some artwork on Emotions, but I'll see if I have some time to submit a piece of writing too if I have time, as it sounds fun. Have a great session this Sunday, too! :)
