origami scenarios

1. Ice Breaker Since the origami piece is an interactive and challenging piece, using it as an ice breaker would get people to work together and communicate with each other.

As an activity, these campers are using the large origami piece to learn to work with each other, follow instructions, and play a competitive game. They use it to race with another team to see who can work best with each other and build the origami piece the fastest.


2. Family Activity
Traditional origami was once passed down through generations through word of mouth. It was used to help kids to use their memory and to practice mobility in their hands.

On a Sunday afternoon, this family goes to the park with the origami piece to hang out and have some fun. They lay out on the flat origami piece and use it as a blanket to picnic on it, and then decide to fold it into a turtle. The parents help them make this, while trying to encourage communication and teach them how to read and follow instructions and symbols.


3. Just for fun
Today, paper folding is considered an art form. After it is folded, there isn't always a function for it except for it being beautiful.

These group of teenagers are decorating their auditorium for their first prom. They decide to use this origami piece to make large flying cranes that will hang from the ceiling. They decorate these cranes with lights so that they are large, beautiful flying cranes that add the dim lighting needed to set the mood.

All the three origami scenarios works pretty well, in my opinion. My favorite is the Family Activity. :) I'm looking forward to see more pictures of your actual project interacting with people...

I think all your scenarios are quite good. especially the last two. The only concern about the first one is since origami is not an easy matter, there maybe fights!
