INTRODUCTION
You can run this activity in a variety of ways, depending on the facilities you have available and how long you want it to last.
- Post to your section’s facebook group for a short time and then remove the post.
- Go live in your section’s facebook group – show them the items for a short time and then remove.
- Video call and show them the items for a short time then hide them.
Bear in mind they may be sneaky and take a screen shot…
There is some further advice on running programme’s at home here.
RULES
List Them
Show them a selection of items, get them to list as many as they can.
You can increase the number of items depending on your section or insist on items exact names.
Take one away
Show them a selection of items, then remove one.
You can make it more difficult by removing more than one item or by moving things around!
Test the senses
Does it need to be visual?
Can you play them sounds and get them to write down as many as they can remember.
Bring an item
Save yourself the effort of finding a load of items, get them all to bring an item or two. Show them to everyone and then run as above.
