On the afternoon of November 19th 2023, in order to enhance the communication and friendship among the students of Grade 23, Hertford College held a group building and learning activity for Grade 23 freshmen. The Egg Race game is a traditional creative activity full of fun and challenges at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. It requires students to use materials such as cardboard and straws to create a device that can make an egg roll further. This activity aims to develop students' hands-on skills and innovative thinking, while also helping them learn how to work better in a team. At the beginning of the activity, the members of the Student Union introduced the rules of the game to the students, and then the students formed teams to carry out the egg race. The competition scene is lively, cheerful and warm atmosphere spread, we can see all kinds of strange devices and ways to protect eggs. Some teams cut cardboard and spliced it into a curve, while others devised an ingenious slide to get the eggs tumbling far enough. Of course, there were also some design and practical disputes during the competition, but they did not give up, but solved problems through teamwork and creativity. The Egg Race is a competition full of creativity and skill, where participants build amazing creations using cardboard and straws in a limited amount of time. At the activity site, the students were enthusiastic and cooperated with each other in groups. They came up with their own creativity and skills. Some groups chose to use cardboard to make a unique track, and some groups used straw to make a power device. When the contestants displayed their works, their eyes revealed their pride in their works and their excitement for the competition. Other players were also impressed by their opponent's work. The works they create with their hearts and hands not only show their wisdom and skills, but also convey the pursuit of beauty and the courage to challenge, these wonderful moments let people deeply feel the charm of creativity and the power of teamwork. This group building activity enhanced the team spirit and team consciousness of the freshmen, and jointly created a collective of mutual tolerance, mutual trust and mutual respect while enhancing mutual understanding. From the individual to the collective, the individual into the collective, the future.
