Common mistakes
Pupils may struggle to trust others to have their back.
Trust is a two-way process and something that needs to be earned and then not taken advantage of.
For parents, carers and teachers
- At the start of the lesson, allow pupils to work with those they already trust. As the lesson moves through, encourage pupils to learn to trust new peers to increase the challenge. If students are resistant to hold hands, despite encouragment, you could add a bib between hands.
