Last Word
Suggested Group(s): Young/Middle/Teen
Purpose: To allow the group to transition from group time to leaving and to literally "have a last word" before ending the group
Task/need: Group building, group structure
Activity Setup Ideas:
- Have the group form a circle and think of their 'last word' for the evening.
Materials:
- None
Description: At the end of the evening, just prior to being picked-up by their adults, encourage the group members to express a last word. The word can be a real word, a made-up word, an English word or a word in any other language. The point is that it is their last word and no one will question them or ask them to say more or explain themselves. The word can just sit.
Activity Wrap Up Ideas:
- Just a quiet 'thank you' to the group.
