Get groups to discuss their favourite residential ideas.
Overview
- In groups, ask girls to choose from the selection of residential destination cards.
- Ask them to think about what they would like to do at that residential, such as activities or an overall theme.
- The groups then share their ideas with the unit and everyone votes on the residential idea they like most.
- Take it further: hold a focus group to decide on the details - location, type of residential event, theme, food, activities and so on.
