A Joint “Communication” Exercise
🚔🚒🚑 with both Criminal Justice and Fire/Recue Students. One student was given a set of Legos that were already put together in a cluster, and the other student was given the exact same Lego pieces that were not put together. They sat back-to-back. The student with the Legos already constructed had to describe to the other student how to put their pieces together to look exactly the same.  they learned the importance of being descriptive and not assuming that the other person knows what you are thinking. They also learned the importance of knowing direction such as north, south, east and west, as well as division or levels.
