Table Top Activity
Page Summary
This activity includes placing paper on a table / floor and ask a series of questions. Inviting the children / young people to write their responses on to the sheets of paper.
You Will Require
- Roll of lining paper or table cover paper
- Pens
- Scissors
What To Do
Place the lining / cover paper on to a table/floor and ask a series of questions. Invite the children / young people to write their responses on to the sheets of paper. After each question you could tear off the section with their responses so that you have a clear indication of what was said in response to each question. Alternatively you could draw a line down the sheet to indicate that you have moved on to the next question.
Encourage discussion whilst they are responding to the questions. When all of the questions have been answered, invite the children / young people to identify and agree on a few priorities. Invite them to cut out the statements so that they can be typed up. These can be fed back to the PCC and other stakeholders.
