But there was a tricky part! We didn't have all the pieces of our picture where few pieces were there with other groups and we had few pieces of them with us too.
Anyways, so we started to complete the jigsaw puzzle. At the beginning it was totally a mess!
Then one by one we started to figure out the pieces. First it was a watermelon, then a pineapple, and finally there were some papayas too.
But let me tell you, it wasn't so easy as it sounds. At the beginning they were just meaningless pieces with some weird shapes...
But then one set of team members figured out there's a watermelon and started working on that. Then another set of people started working on pineapples. Gradually the meaningless pieces took form into a picture communicating plenty of meaning to us.
But the missing parts that we had to get from other groups was the real challenge. After lots of bargaining we managed to get some of our pieces back, and we also managed to get few more pieces that belonged to other teams as well.
At the end of the day, we managed to almost complete our puzzle, but there was just a single piece missing.
In the activity of finding the missing pieces, I learnt quite a few valuable things. But with all these lessons, the last missing piece was in my mind quite a lot even when the lecture was over. I had two pieces of the team that had our last missing piece. I was ready to hand them over the two pieces in exchange of our last piece, but they refused.
Maybe we could have tried a bit harder, used a different strategy, helped them to find all their missing pieces and to complete their puzzle. So, the next time I involve in any activity, I'll be more focused on getting the task 100 percent done by trying out whatever the strategies I can. All in all, it was a great day with our team, other team mates and our PPD madam.
Hopefully we'll have more amazing activites to come in the future.
