Scenario 3: The accident.

These scenarios have been tried and tested with young people at Prospex, and have been written by myself and Maxine. They are best used by givig a group the scenario and some time to put their role play together and then present. We have found that leaving them to it without direction from yourselves gives a truer insight to how they see things

Hoodies.

I love things that challenge stereo typing and these hoodies by young people from the CYP Art Flat do that really well.

Two are covered in images of young people engaged in positive activities, very thought provoking. They were displayed in the window at Prospex and appeared on a float in this years Lords Mayors Parade.

Boomwhackers

I have just purchased my first set of Boomwhackers, these are tuned musical tubes if you haven’t come across them before. They have loads of potential from team building, and worship. The best thing is everybody seems to love them and want a go.

I am at present experimenting with some kids worship ideas more to come soon.

Oh what fun.
