A. Morning Group Check-Ins - Questions can range from how are you feeling today? Did you dream last night? This allows for the interns to reflect and get on the same page as everyone else. It also gives the interns a sense of purpose and support—people are listening me and are interested in what I bring to the table. Note: if interns are shy and don’t want to participate vocally, they can use the chat box. The teacher should review items from yesterday and go over major agenda items for today. Interns should be invited to review their lab notebook and share how things went for them yesterday. They can then discuss any concerns or issues that might impact their work for today. They can also discuss any goals they have for the day.

B. Home Scavenger Hunt - Make a list of house hold items (eg. shoe, spoon, stiffed animal); 5-10. All participants must start in front of the screen. Prompt: Go find a.... “shoe." Competitive: first one to present the shoe on the screen or Non-Competitive: all participants find a shoe (everyone wins). Note: try to name items that are age appropriate and don’t need permission to grab.

C. Make a Move - The facilitator will start off the game. Each participant will think of 1 movement to share with everyone when it is their turn. *Silly Movements are the best Option 1: make a list of all participants in the chat room—they will follow this order throughout the activity. Option 2: After each person presents their move, they call on someone to go next... The goal is to make the transition smooth—everyone needs to be on their toes because they might be called on next. 1 Round: when ALL participants have presented their movement. Time: rounds can range from 10 seconds to 1 minute (it depends on how many participants there are and how much time you have in your agenda)

D. Draw a Friend (Kola) - Participants need to be in pairs; 2. The pairs will draw each other and present their drawings at the end of time. Time: 2--5 Minutes. Bonus: ask the artists to list 2-3 positive affirmations about the person they drew. The depth of the affirmations will depend on how well they know each other—eg. Martha is a kind person. Surface affirmation—eg. I like Junior’s glasses or shirt.

E. Red/Black & High/Low - Materials: deck of cards, 2 post-it sized paper, pencil/pen, and a list of fun movements. Teacher will be the dealer. Ask the participants to write RED on one paper and BLACK on the other. Have your own example ready to show the participants. Note: Red/Black is the easiest game to start with. Show the participants the red and black cards from the deck so they know what to expect. Do a practice run: Ask the participants to guess what the next card is going to be—hold your red or black paper to the screen. Pull the card and show the participants. E.g. If it is RED—explain to those who are holding BLACK what they might have to do when the game goes live. When you feel that the participants have a grasp on the game, High and Low can be introduced.

F. Show and Tell: Ask participants to share an item that’s special to them. Note: it’s ok if participants don’t have anything to share. They can share someone who is special to them too. This is an easy way for the participants to get to know one another. Family members can get into the mix as well.

G. Go for a Walk - Go outside for a 5 minute walk.

H. Meditate -

I. Stretch -

J. Dance - Dance along with the Think Like a Scientist beet.
