Mission 1

What you have to do

Plan and run a minimum of three games with the section you are volunteering with. At least one game should take place indoors and one outdoors.

The games should be varied, incorporating:

  • at least two different types of leadership style (refer to Module B and Module C)
  • three different types of games; for example some games may be more energetic and active, while others may be more creative or reflective (refer to Module E)

To complete this mission, you could:

  • run a game at the beginning or end of a section night
  • run a wide game on a camp
  • run a game that ties into a badge the section is working towards
  • run a game that reinforces something the section has learned
  • any other ideas, subject to agreement with ESL-YL and Section Leader

This could be done in a virtual section meeting too!

Evidence

To show you have completed these tasks, we ask you to write a little bit about your experience.

  • date
  • location
  • leadership styles used
  • game type
  • instructions of the game
  • equipment needed
  • badges/awards worked towards
  • self evaluation of how it went
