The Secret Suggestion Box

Page Summary

You Will Require

• A suggestion box with a slot and a way of retrieving the suggestions
• Paper

What To Do

This is an activity can be used by leaving the post box, some paper and pens in a prominent place such as:

• The back of the church
• A church porch,
• A school reception
• The post office or other community shop

The idea is to offer a way of encouraging children / young people to share comments, thoughts, suggestions and ideas anonymously. The box can be decorated to look like a suggestion box or a post box.

It is important to ensure that comments are looked at and addressed in appropriate ways. These can be fed back to the PCC and other stakeholders.

Do It Differently

It can be used during a single church service or youth / children's group session to post ideas.
