For this year's Winter Activity Day, I helped organise a music quiz as well as sharrades to entertain the Year 10s who weren't planned for anything after their outing in the forest. The activity went really well since the Year 10s were very engaged in the activities we offered and it was nice to have an enthusiastic audience.
Organisationally, I was thorough since I always tried to think of things that could go wrong and therefore plan more out so that the activity would run smoothly. For example, I rearranged the tables so that they would be set in groups which could hold a maximum of 6 people in order to facilitate the task of creating groups. Also, I went to get brand new board pens so that there wouldn't be any issues on that front and I also made sure there were enough words for sharrades by creating more than we needed to which ended up being a slight issue since, even though we created more, we were out of words 2 minutes before the end of the session but we were creative enough to make words up on the spot to keep our activity flowing.
If this was to happen again next year, I think we should be more active since once we had finished preparing our activity and still had time on our hands, we should have gone out and helped others out or participated, however, to some extent is was good that we didn't since we actually had to organise more things and it is only after a while that we realised that. So relating to that, we should be more prepared next time and make sure that everything is or almost is perfect for when the group arrives.
