Things to think about before choosing an activity

  • Key learning points - What is the point of it? Learning outcome? Be specific
  • Timing – How long will it take to set up, run and debrief?
  • Single or Groups – How will the participants benefit most? By working in groups or alone? How will the groups be composed and selected? What other logistics will I need to consider?
  • Set-up – How complex is the activity? What equipment or materials will we need? What instructions will I need to give? Where are the possible sources of risk or confusion?
  • Debrief – How will we reflect on the outcomes? What feedback will be essential? How can I build on the results?
  • State of learners – What are the participants going to be doing prior to the activity? What will their energy levels and needs be? What assumptions am I making?
