Sprint Retrospectives

Learning Objectives Identify one thing that was fun about a group activity. Identify one thing that was tricky about a group activity. Suggest one new idea to make the next activity better. Listen while a friend is sharing their idea. Use kind words when talking about a project. Explain that a 'retrospective' is a 'chat time' to make things better. Have you ever built a big tower and it fell down? 🤔 Let's talk about it! We will learn about a special Chat Time. This helps us make our games and projects even more fun next time! It's like a team huddle. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Real-World Applications Making rules for a new game Deciding how to share toys Planning a big drawing with friends Figuring out how to build a better block castle

Everyone Talks Rule One friend talks at a time. 🗣️ We pass a special talking stick. Only the person holding it can talk. This makes sure we all get a turn. Be Kind Rule We talk about the project, not the person. ❤️ Instead of saying 'You did it wrong,' we say 'The tower was wobbly.' This helps us feel safe to share ideas. Find a New Idea Rule Always pick one New Idea to try next time. 💡 Our Chat Time is not just for talking. It's for making a plan! We always end by choosing one thing to do differently.
