Best Practice for Leadership Training

Gabrielle

Bring your passion to camp, in small increments. This summer, I plan on bringing a bulk amount of Lego to camp for our summer camp leadership training. Why Lego? If you bring something that you were passionate about as a child, your staff will feed off of it. Showing something that you were passionate about gives your staff permission to be constructive, be a bit silly and have some fun. Additionally, Lego is durable, meaning you should get lots of repeatable uses out of it. Here are some of the activities I have planned.

-

Different colour pieces of lego for a voting system or understanding system. Using a green brick will demonstrate you understand something fully, yellow somewhat understood, a red brick being used shows that perhaps clarification is required and a blue brick could represent that you can teach the class and maybe you should be paired up with someone who used a red brick.

-

Divide into teams, have each team build a creature and once complete, every team can put their creature in the middle. Then introduce a topic and each team take a different creature from the middle and have them describe using that creature, how they feel about a topic.
