There was a lot of laughter and learning when two different generations got together at Lock Area School earlier this month.
Lock Get Up and Goers spent a couple of lessons with the school’s secondary class – using games as a learning tool.
At least one Get Up and Go member was in each of the five teams with students, for a game of Heard, where teams had to guess the answer that every other team would guess.
Those with the most common answer gained a point per question – with the answer with the highest number being the herd, or in this case the heard, mentality.
Another game pitted teams against each other vying for point values, but using a computer.
If the group guessed an answer correctly as 1000 points they would receive that number of points, whereas if that number was wrong, they would lose 1000 points.
Lock Get Up and Goers’ participants took along an item or items that held significance to them at their regular June meeting.
One item was a Swanee whistle or lotus flute, which students were taught at school in the 1940s.
In May Lock Get Up and Goers held a barbecue lunch at the park.
