Ub1 Parents

Hello Parents! We hope you are all enjoying your summer so far! It's hard to believe that summer is almost coming to an end. We wanted to update you all on some events that will be coming up for the months ahead.

Fallout Shelter

This Sunday we will be wrapping up our 1st series, No Limits. The activity for the night will be a game called Fallout Shelter. For this large-group game, students will use all of the resources available to them to build a fall-out shelter to protect them in a water-balloon fight. Small groups will each work together to make the most of their limited supplies while finding creative ways to secure more protection. We are asking that you send the kids with a change of clothes as they will be getting wet. Wait, why are we doing this? Because it’s summer. It’s fun. And, it reinforces the idea that limits don’t define what you can do. At the beginning, the task may feel impossible. Garbage bags and tape? Are you kidding me? But give students a little time and they can come up with some really creative ways to move past their limitations. Maybe they’ll trade in all of their balloons to buy more defenses. Maybe they won’t even build a shelter, and they’ll just attack everyone first. Encourage them to be creative and brainstorm a strategy. When you do, you’ll build the relationship of the small group and open their minds to see past their limits when facing a big goal.
