This Ability Rock Solid video clip
We did the This Ability session from Rock Solid last week. Here's my video clip suggestion...School of Rock chapter 5 – 6. In this clip Jack Black has just discovered that the students can play instruments. As a result he starts the new class project 'rock band'. The clip shows that we all have different abilities and we all have a role to play. I finished the clip just at the point where they go to lunch.

Finding Nemo - film clip idea for 'stories'
Last night we did the Rock Solid session Whats the story? This session is teamed on stories. In addition to the material we used a slip from Finding Nemo. The clip starts at DVD chapter 16 and ends in chapter 17 just after the film cuts to birds going 'Mine Mine Mine'. In these scene, Marlin (Nemo's father) tells his story to find his son, Nemo.

Shopping video clip idea - Pretty Woman
The theme for last Friday nights Rock Solid session was shopping. For a video clip, we showed part of Pretty Woman:
- 59 Mins 38 second - 1 hour 4 mins 14 seconds (DVD chapter 11). This is the scene in which Vivian discovers the joys of shopping...with lots of "sucking up". Although this video is a 15 certificate, their is nothing rude or offensive in this scene.

Little Miss Sunshine game
Our last Rock Solid session was themed on Listening...here is a game that we put together to try enhance the theme. You will need a copy of the Mr Men book, Little Miss Sunshine.
What to do:
a) Split the group into two teams with even numbers.
b) Get each team to sit in two lines of chairs facing each other. There should be a gap between the chairs as follows:
| A | Gap | B |
| 1 | 1 | |
| 2 | 2 | |
| 3 | 3 | |
| 4 | 4 | |
| 5 | 5 | |
| 6 | 6 | |
| 7 | 7 | |
| 8 | 8 | |
| 9 | 9 |
c) Give each pair (facing each other) the following words:
Player Word Times used 1 Been 3 2 Asked 5 3 Down 3 4 Entering 3 5 Gigantic 3 6 Giggling 3 7 Happy 4 8 Never 3 9 Drove 3
d) Explain that you are going to tell them a story. When the player hears their word, they have to run up the gap between the chairs and run around the outside back to their chair, ie, the team on the left run anti clockwise, the team on the right run clockwise. The first one back gets a point for their team. This is a bit like another game called "ladders".
e) Start reading the story!

Trust - video clip - Finding Nemo
Chloe made a great suggestion for a clip about Trust. You'll find it at Chapter 28 (1 hour 23 min) to Chapter 29 - 1 hour 26 min 10 sec of Finding Nemo. Basically in this clip a fishing boat captures a load of fish. Nemo knows how to set them free, but his father, concerned for his saftey, trys to stop him...but he eventually caves in and decides to trust him...

Bruce Almighty - having a bad day
On Friday we did the Bog Roll Bonanza session from this terms Rock Solid.
In addition to the published material we used a clip from Bruce Almighty chapter 4 (12 min 51 ) to chapter 5 (19 mins 10 seconds). In the clip, Bruce finds out he has not been chosen as the new anchorman. As a result of this he rants and raves...basically he is not having a bad day, or as the Rock Solid material he was having a "poo" day. The clip starts with Bruce on the Maid of the Mist and finish when the dog takes a leak on his carpet. Note there are a few rude words in this clip so you'll need to edit it / make sure it's suitable for your group.

Pictinary - ideas
As part of the Rock Solid session tomorrow night we're doing a quick game of Pictinary. The theme is on "light". Here is my extended list things that are vaguely "bright":
- Bonfire, Sunshine, Fire work, Light bulb, Torch, Eye, Glasses, Candle, Lightning, TV, Moon, Stars, Snow, Christmas tree, Traffic lights, a match
In process of looking for ideas I found this which could be an excellent starting point for a guessing game - i.e., remove the answers and they have to guess what they are.
