Intros and games (1.00pm) Young People · Introduction of agenda and golden rules (5 mins) · Introduction of all people involved (we need to know every ones name for the first game!) (5mins) · Zombies game – Every one stands in a circle and 1 person volunteers to be a zombie, they then have to choose someone in the circle to make into a zombie by touching them on their shoulders, they then become a zombie – the only way to stop becoming a zombie is to shout out someone else’s name in the circle so the zombie will change direction to them instead. (10 mins) Minutes: The Board noted that Mark would be the Chair for this meeting and the young people led everyone present through a zombie game which enabled people to introduce themselves.
Following the game Mark got everybody back together to discuss the following topics. |
