Are you trustworthy?

Idea by Jill Hansen

 
We all stood in a circle and the person in charge asked who was trustworthy. Of course most people raised their hands. We then assigned someone as the "hub" of the circle. Our task was to arrange by age, oldest to youngest, the people in the group. The tricky part was we had to close our eyes, not reveal our ages, and keep the circle complete as people moved from place to place. After we were finished we were asked again if we were trustworthy. She told us that there were 22 people (infractions) that opened their eyes. Shocker!!!  She then asked us why we were worried that there would be a penalty if we were wrong. Then we kind of talked about the pressures of the world that sometimes we put on ourselves without really needing too and the fact that people that are truly trustworthy (have integrity) will try to complete the task without cheating just because it's the right thing to do, even if they aren't able to have it perfect.
