2:00-2:05 - People find their groups

2:05-2:07 - Board Member: In the FISH story we can see two examples of being there. One of them is being there for those who you work with just like the fishmongers were. They all coached each other and worked together to reach their goal of being world famous. Even the newest fishmonger worked with the others and contributed to the group. In addition the fishmongers are there for their customers in the market. They are different than any other fish salesmen and they connect with the people they sell to and are reliable. We are going to Be There for each other over the next hour as we do this program. Yay!

2:07-2:15 - Ice Breaker - Name, city, chapter, board position, and a time that you were there for someone or someone was there for you.

2:15-2:35 - Personal Connection & Support Game -

1. Personal Connection Game - Robots and Controllers

Pair up in groups of two on all sides of the room. One person is the robot and the other is the controller. The robot closes their eyes and it is the controller’s job to lead the robot to the other side of the room by touching their back. A tap on the left shoulder means go left, right means go right, a touch on the middle of their back means go straight, and a pat on the head means stop. The controller has to move the robot to the opposite side of the room than where they started without running into the other pairs. The REB members introduce random rules and obstacles whenever they want. Example: The controls become opposite of the original.

2. Support Game - Rock Paper Scissors Extreme

Everyone in the group partners up and plays rock, paper, scissors against each other, sudden death. Whoever loses has to follow the person they lost to and cheer for them as they play other people. This continues until you have two people with two crowds and then one winner everyone cheers for. Play twice.
