Top Tips
You can run these activities as five separate sessions over a period of weeks/programmes or run them simultaneously and get each group to rotate through the activities so that by the end of the session they have done all five. If possible, run ‘Money makes the world go round’ before ‘Shop ‘til you drop’.
If you choose to run them simultaneously, make sure you have enough space (a different room for each one is ideal but not vital) and that you have enough leaders so that each activity has one each. You may choose some of your group to be activity leaders, in which case make sure they know what they’re doing, how long they’ve got and where to send the groups on to next.
