enthusiam help?

[saprintha]

okay so i'm a link crew leader at my school. i'm a junior in high school, and today we just had our freshman orientation. my and my partner have these 10 freshmen that we are in charge of for the school year of 08-09, and funny thing happened, in the morning they were all excited, but as we got on to a challenge called 64 squares, they just got well bored, and didn't want to participate. what can me and my link crew partner do to make them more enthusiastic about our school? because when i look at the freshmens, they had a " i want to go home" look on their face. i know they may be shy, and it will take time, but just of right now. and we start school next next week. so yeah. help? (it's the 2nd best school in our district)oh and as link crew leaders we are being enthusiastic also.

Make them watch Curb Your Enthusiasm for 72 hrs straight, no drinks, and no food. I have a no tolerance policy with freshmen.

But seriously, I guess if you were forced to, you could pull rank on them. You could in no unclear terms tell them that you can be friends or enemies. And make sure you mention the fact that you can and will make life miserable for them. But seriously, I give bad advice, doing that will probably get you in trouble.

Rule over them with an iron fist. That usualy works in society.

Who cares what they think, they're just freshmen.

Well, find out what kind of things they like, and bring said things to school with ya and make it school related. Stuff like that. Or, for the males, food <3

Fine, you want some real advice?

I suggest you get to know them a little better. Find out what they like and so forth. Then try to tie it in with school.

ummmm maybe this thing called 64 square or whatever was boring for them? Possibly you could find something they are more interested in? I'm not overly good with people but if you count the fact that I have 74 best friends maybe 20 of which were freshman at one point or another in my life.... It's just a matter of keeping there brain occupied with something that doesn't cause them to go blank slate and stop using the brain... cause I know when I was younger I got bored really easily... especially in school.... Maybe they could be more enthusiastic if whatever it was you all were doing was fun.... I dunno.... I made friends with all my freshman buddies by listening to the conversation they were having... if I over heard something that I was also interested in I tended to stick with it until I found other things they were interested in... So you could have a little session of asking them about things they like and having small disscusions about it... I dunno... maybe...

if its related to crew then im not sure.....i was more involved with football when i was in high school
but prob best thing to make things more fun with the guys would be have like a team dinner type thing......thats what i did for my freshman year
when i was in your position me and the other guys that had to take care of teh freshmen basically told the freshmen's parents to leave the door unlocked on friday night so we could go in and "kidnapp" the kid, and we basically went around the town and hanged out talking about ourselves getting to know each other or whatever and then just play a round of tag football then finish teh night with food like ihop or something by teh time we ended it would be like 1 in the morning or something
thats what we did and it worked out pretty well

SEVERE WARNING about the above picture...it's gross.

Talk to them; get to know them better. Having a shy aura around the place isn't going to help. And try some other games to play, whether it be outdoors or indoor. No matter who the person is, accept them for who they are.
