Games and physical activity in our Units offer physical, emotional, and social benefits for both girls and adults. They can also offer a great way to present information in an interactive format to support multiple learning styles. Most importantly, they are a lot of fun!
Tips for leading games:
- Be prepared!
- Be inclusive at all times.
- Be enthusiastic.
- Play simple games, especially with a new group.
- Build up your collection of games.
- Be flexible.
- Apply the same rules during game time as at any other time.
- Be a good facilitator.
