WEEK 1 - RECREATION DAY ONE: Set Up MATERIALS: Students divided into two teams, (the list should be prepared by the staff in advance), poster board, and marker. OBJECT: To help the children learn how to work together and support each other. SET UP Today you are going to create two permanent teams. These teams would play together everyday, during recreation. These teams will change every month. This gives the students a chance to learn to work with new team members. It also gives them a chance to play on a winning team, if they were not on one in the past. You will want to make sure the are evenly matched age wise. You may want to sit down as a Staff team and decide who will be on what teams. Be sure and keep your lists from the previous months, so that you can remember who played together in the past. Have each team come up with a team name. It can be whatever they want. It might denote their relationship with Jesus. Acronyms are fun to use too. Have each team create a team cheer. (Raps are fun too!) Remember that during recreation winning isn't as important as participation and spirit. Make posters for posting the scores.
