Debrief on Sunday's Game

What we loved: What wasn't so great:

- great idea - the group was too big to play, needed to adapt game

- interactive - space was small; hard to get in/out of tent

- everyone participated - leaders got disqualified too early

- mixed everyone up - not enough examples so that everyone understood the game

- broke down walls (got people - leaders energy levels weren't high

comfortable fast) - some people may have felt awkward being touched

(personal boundaries)

Games: what is involved to run a successful game

- the facilitator/person running the game

- needs to thoroughly explain the game. use leaders as examples

- hype it up!! your tone of voice and the way you explain it can ultimately make or break the game. be

- be excited!! it's your game!!!

- game itself

- are picked to break the ice/ make students feel welcome and comfortable

- have two types: interactive and upfront. Upfront games are ones we hand-pick participants to "go up front" and play the game.

- Upfront games must be funny or there will be no connection with the students

- the prep

- make sure you have all the supplies needed for the game. if not, ask Jamie for help

- you will explain the game to the leaders at the 9:10am briefing.

- we need to know who's running the game. everyone else is supporting.

- use leaders as examples. this will ensure leaders understand the game before playing too

- make sure you know how much area space you need. (i.e. do we need to move chairs and table to play?)

- students

- interact with them!!!!!

- when playing the game, partner up with a student. NOT another leader

- leaders

- are responsible to understand the game. if you have questions, ask the person running the game!!

- must participate unless have another job (i.e. sound, or running the game)

- THERE WILL BE NO LEADER SPECTATORS!!!

- actively think about what's going on at the time and what needs to be done

- i.e. "i need to get the kids excited about the game"; "game is done, lets get the students calmed and into the tent"

Small Groups/Message time

Leaders

- after game, bring energy level down

- i.e. "great game guys" while ushering them to tent

- break discussion questions down so that students understand them

- questions are given out at briefing, take time to understand the question so that you can break it down so the students understand it.

- ask open ended questions to get students to answer

- "i don't know" or "5" are not acceptable answers. make them picks something.

- ask directly "fauzi, what do you think about ...." this forces them to interact

- make sure one leader is facilitating the questions

- facilitator: bring in support leaders to help answer and guide questions

- if you're doing the message...

- make sure questions get to Jamie by the Tuesday before your message

- have "guide" answers under your questions so small group leaders know where you're going with it and how to direct groups

- KNOW YOUR GROUP!!!

- names, ages if can.

- if you have trouble remembering, find something that works. write it down. use relatable words, etc.
