Childhood Games, Class #6, Thursday period 1

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

Lily had handwavily sent out an E-mail to her class telling them to meet in the Danger Shop today, which was set up to look pretty much exactly like your standard dorm floor. "Welcome back, and I'm really glad radio warns me about things like the fact that half my class might be an animal," she greeted them. "Today, we're going to play hide and seek.

"For those of you poor deprived people, one person's It. That person closes their eyes and counts to one hundred, and everyone else hides somewhere. This place is set up just like the dorms, so you can hide anywhere in here. At one hundred, the person who's It yells 'ready or not, here I come' and goes looking for everyone. The first person to get found is It for the next round then. Simple, right? Okay. Have fun!"

Escape Artistry: Week 6, Period 3 (Thurs. 08/14)

As they entered the Danger Shop, students were provided with some fancy paintball guns (that looked shockingly like USAF submachine guns and sidearm handguns) and even fancier protective vests.

The Danger Shop had been converted to show the landscape of an alien planet that looked surprisingly like a forest in Vancouver with lots of trees and ground dense with vegetation. Ronon stood in a long brown leather coat with a sword strapped to his back in and area that looked like a large camp with little brown huts and fire pits. The camp was also dotted with angry, armed, brown homespun-clad men lurking on pause.

Once students seemed to be finished gearing up, Ronon pointed his thumb at the waiting natives. "These men want to kill you. The darts they're shooting act like your planet's paint balls. Once you're hit, you're out because they took you prisoner and fed you to some monsters. Your goal is to escape from this camp and make it two miles through the forest to the Ring of the Ancestors aka Stargate where you've gotta input a combination code and walk through the ring." If his eyes lingered on Teyla during this, it was so he wouldn't stare at Rodney. "The code's the seven symbols on the paper in your vest pocket." So helpfully planted ahead of time. "When the ring activates, you walk through and the game's over."

Ronon moved to turn on the simulation, turning back to add, "I recommend you work together. It's easier to dial home when someone's got your six." That someone was usually him. Ronon pressed some buttons and the natives started yelling, running, and firing darts at the class.

It was just like back home.

Networking to Success, Thursday, Period 2, (8/14/08)

"Today we're going to practice using your networking skills," Nathan said. "Pretend that you're putting together a charity event to benefit all the teal deer who were made homeless thanks to getting lost in the fog. You need to figure out what kind of event to have and how you can make it happen for the least amount of cost but greatest amount of benefit to the charity.

"Think about all of the talents everyone has on the island, as well as all the businesses. Put your heads together - not literally - and come up with a way to use those resources for your event. Remember that good networking involves giving a benefit as well as getting one. Once you've figured out your event you need to present it to your sponsor." Nathan gestured towards where Lana was sitting. "If she doesn't like it she won't put her company's weight behind it, and without her you won't have nearly as much donations or free publicity. She's going to want to see creative events that bring a lot to the table.

"Get started and I'm here if you have any questions."
