We are now starting our Path to Happiness with E.P.2H. and our first step involves getting to know the team members who will be working together in order to design this collaborative Path. 

 

Our first suggestion is a breaking the ice game called "Connecting Stories about Happiness"

Please, follow this link to start:

All the teams can also upload any other materials they have created to present their teams.

 

Instructions

Dear friends,

This game is called “Connecting Stories” and its aim is to provide a way to get to know

ourselves in a creative and funny way.

We invite all the partners to write a sentence about happiness our being happy, however, once someone starts writing a sentence, his/her friend must go on picking up a word which is connected to the idea/event he/she wants to write about … Once someone has written a sentence he/she must write his/her name and add the town and country where he/she is from.

Example:

I really feel happy when I walk by the sea and watch the waves (José, Madrid, Spain). I love looking for seashells and playing with my dog on the beach. ( Marie, Toulouse, France). I haven’t got a dog but I have got a budgie and I feel so happy when he sings for me. (Carla, Lisbon, Portugal) My favourite singer is …. I feel so good when I listen to his songs. (Martha, London, U.K.). Once I was listening to music when my best friend called …..  ( Georgios, …, Greece)    ….

Students can also upload drawings they have created about the sentences they have written.

And here we have the result of our breaking the ice game:

 

 

With our “CONNECTING STORIES ABOUT HAPPINESS” we realise we have interests, tastes and hobbies in common, activities that make us feel happy, such as being with our friends and family, playing sports, listening to music, playing with our pets, being outdoors in contact with nature ….

Thank you for Reading our “Connecting stories” – they make us feel happy and connected, due to eTwinning.
