12:30pm Bus Welcome, Registration & Scavenger Hunt ACE Team Leader BUS GREETERS Sally, Nathan, Kruti and Jasma take one bus each and Sean (Subliminal) as ACE MAN visits all! Watch for bus arrival (Be ready!) Get on bus, make big fuss Call teacher one by one to step off bus to meet their school host ACE Leader Play bus games etc. until all hosts come back to get students When bus is empty, help with luggage dispersal Examples of Games: Name Game Tell them your name is...and you likeExample: I am Vivian and I like vases. Next person says she is Vivian and she likes Vases. I am .and I like The first initial of the name needs to match with the first initial of the object. The trick is to see if the person can remember the name of the person that went before! Stand-Up Sit-Down To get them moving on the bus (without getting off) call out various things and have the students alternately standup and sit-down. Things to call out include: wearing (or not wearing) a colour, having a certain letter in their first name, a kind of pet that they have owned, etc. Be creative and have them moving quickly to get the blood flowing again after a long ride. Im Going to Horseshoe This game is played by starting off with I am going to Talisman, and I am going to bring Start off with any object. Then ask a student what they are going to bring to Talisman. Choose a student, ask them to stand up, say their name, and tell what they are going to bring to Horseshoe. The next item needs to start with the last letter of the previous object. For example: I am bringing an apple, the student is bringing an elephant, the next student brings a towel, etc. If the student brings the right thing then tell them that Yes, you can come to Horseshoe If not, tell them that they cant come and move on to the next student. ACE Team Leader SCHOOL HOSTS Have your poems, pipe cleaners for suitcases and Scavenger Hunt sheets ready!

ACE TEAM LEADERS PAGE Friday November 12, 2010 1:30 - 3:15p.m.
1:30 3:15 Welcome, Introduction and Ace Makers (Alpine)
Participate in ACE Makers with students (See below) SCHOOL ACEMAKERS: BULL IN THE RING Students sit in a group around their teacher. As ACE Man calls out different questions, the students have to give the answer to their teachers who then stand on the chair. ACE Man picks first teacher standing and if the/she answers correctly, the school wins a prize. Questions involve Goals, Guidelines, safety and emergency procedures. * AT this point, teachers convene in Fairway for a meeting FULL GROUP ACEMAKERS: CARD CONCENTRATION Students move the chairs from Bull in the Ring to a big circle running around the room. Students then mingle together to find who has a matching card to theirs. Then the pair goes to an ACE Leader who has raffle tickets and extra cards. The students tell the ACE Leader each others names and something about themselves. The ACE Leader takes both cards, and gives a raffle ticket to each student and a different card to each. FRUIT SALAD ACE Man assigns fruits to the students (by grade) and then calls out the different fruits in random order. When their fruit is called, students get up and switch chairs, and learn the names of their neighbours. When Fruit Salad is called everyone gets up and changes seats. SMALL GROUP ACEMAKERS
Several strategies will be used and called out to group students in different ways 1. month of birth, 2. favourite clour, 3. favourite vacation spot, 4. favourite subject in school
Be ready to hold up your signs and manage a group through these: SLAP & POINT: First go around the group, everyone saying their name. You stand in the centre of the circle slapping your hands and pointing to a student. That student ducks as the two students beside him/her slap and point at each other saying the other persons name. Whoever says the correct name first wins the round. The other goes to the centre and slap-points at a student and it starts all over again. TWISTED SISTER: Everyone stands in the circle and joins hands with two different partners that they are not standing beside. Freeze! When Ace Man calls out Unwind, get back to normal without letting go of hands. SOMETHING IN COMMON: With a moderate sized group, try to find one thing in common amongst all of you. Think its that easy? Try it! ALPHA NAME: (IF TIME)Everyone in the group has to lineup quickly in alpha order of their first name without saying a word, form a straight line and then sit down quickly! Ace Man now introduces students to their name card and the attribute word! Mad scramble as all kids and find their group! LEADERSHIP GROUP ACEMAKER WISH FOR THE WORLD - Everyone sits in a circle. Each says their name, a wish for themselves & a wish for the world. Hand out journal, pencil to each student Tell students about journals and note taking Direct students and assist in setting seats up for plenary at 3:15 (see map layout as an example)

1:15 3:00 Ace Team Group Session Three (meet in Alpine Room) The Amazing Ace A Cooperative Event for Sportsmanship A team building challenge
Group Leaders Lead your groups through the events and cheer! My event is: Rec Leaders
Remind them to give each other encouragement and support to receive Do your Thang! Example Point List of Activities 1. B-ball Challenge: REC Leader: Kris / Stanford Teams line up at the free-throw line. Each team receives one basketball. Objective is to score as many free-throws as possible. Both teams begin shooting at the same time, on the same net. After a person shoots, they must retrieve their own ball and pass it back to their team. Taking the other teams ball, or deliberately throwing it away should result in NO sportsmanship points, and possibly two unobstructed shots by the other team. Materials: Two basketballs 2.Mini Golf Putt: REC Leader: Karen There are circles around the putting hole that will reap a score 1, 2, 3. If the ball lands in the hole it is scored as 5. Each team member uses a putter to see how close they can get their golf ball to or in the hole and a score is kept. The team with the highest score wins. Materials: Two putters and 6 golf ballsProvided by Horseshoe 3. Tug-o-War: REC Leader: Reegina Teams play Tug of war. Best two out of three wins (if theyre really fast, best out of five) Materials: One big, long, strong ropeProvided by Horseshoe 4. Snack and Photo Op: REC Leader: Dianne Knox, Wendy Materials: Snacks & DrinksProvided by Horseshoe 5. Ladder Ball: REC Leader: Amelia Team members take turns throwing the ball on a rope onto a rung of a ladder. The higher the rung, the higher the score. The team who scores the highest at the sound of the finish time, wins.. Materials: Two Ladder Ball equipment pieces - Provided by Horsehoe 6. Planks: REC Leader: Devindra Team race where each team is divided into three 4-person groups. The first groups place their feet in the foot-holes on the boards, holding on to the rope. When the race starts, they must move the planks as a team to the finish and turn around. The second group steps into the foot-holes and moves back to the start, turning around. The third group steps in and finishes the race. The team that gets to the finish line the second time first wins. Materials: Two sets of planksProvided by Horseshoe

ACE TEAM LEADERS PAGE Saturday November 14, 2010 1:15 - 3:00 p.m.
List of Activities (contd) and Scoring 7. Up in the Air: REC Leader: Insiya Each team forms its own circle and tries to keep the ball up as long as possible (similar to volleyball lifts). Each time the team has to start over again it is counted. Team with the LOWEST score wins!!
8. The Lanyard Line Spooner: REC Leader: Jordan Each team forms a line. First person takes a lanyard line to be pulled in one sleeve through the other to the next member of the team to do the same. As soon as the first member is done, that person runs the course with a spoon and golf ball. If the golf ball is dropped they must pick up and try again from spot where dropped. When team member returns, the golf ball is given to the next team member, from spoon to spoon. Fist team with both tasks completed that sits down on the ground wins!! Materials: Four & 2 golf ballsProvided by Horseshoe; 2 sets of 3 lanyards tied together At the end of each event, the ACE Team Group leader gives the score card to Rec Leader in charge of the event.

Personal Reflections
Keep a diary of your daily wins and accomplishments. If your life is worth living, its worth recording. MARILYN GREY Take a moment to reflect in a private place that is yours and yours alone. Take time to breathe in all you have experienced and learned at this leadership conference. Think of the new friends and new acquaintances you have made. Think of your new dreams, new goals new plans. These pages are yours without boundaries to write about all or anything that you wish.
You can design your life to come to you the way you want it. You can live your life on purpose, instead of by chance.
