Page Summary

This activity includes using a target system to evaluate how children/young people feel about aspects of an activity.

Evaluating how children/young people feel about aspects of an activity

A4 sheets with targets (drawn or downloaded) and a statement (Just one - not three as in the example!)
Sticky dots

Draw up a list of statements about the activity you want to evaluate.
For each statement, produce a sheet with a 'target' on it + the statement. (The larger your group, the larger your sheet will need to be)
Adapt what the rings mean to suit your situation.

(NB The example has three statements simply to illustrate the kind of thing you might ask)

Introduce the subject/activity to be evaluated by asking the children/young people to recap what they remember about it.
Place the targets around the room and give everyone enough sticky dots to have one for each target.
Invite the children/young people to walk around the room and ask them to place one on each target to show how they feel about each statement each statement.
Outside the target = It really didn't work; outer ring = it might have worked for some, but not for me; middle ring = pretty good; bullseye = spot on! Couldn't have been better
When everyone has used up all their dots, gather round each target in turn to discuss what it shows.
Where targets show significant negative response to the statement, ask for idseas as to how things might change.
Reflect - What have you learned? How might that feed into future activities? Who can help things to change
