Preparations
Print the questionnaires and the pictures; bring the evidence; put colours on the evidence based on the group colour; hide the evidence in the space.Instructions
Step 1 — 5 minutes
The group is going to be divided into 4 sub groups, each with a trainer as mentor and their own colour. Every group will play a kind of treasure hunting, but instead of a treasure you're going to find a definition (which can also be a treasure!). There are 4 steps in this “Definition Hunting” and we will describe it step by step.
Step 2 — 15 minutes
Questionnaire:
Each group has to answer to few questions asked by the mentor. The aim is not to find the right question, there is not one right answer, but to understand what is the theme of the definition (see attached questionnaires). When the group has understood the theme it can move to the next step.
Step 3 — 15 minutes
Evidences:
Each group should find the evidences within the theme of their definition hidden in the space. The evidences are printed pictures and little things signed by the colour of the group (see attached schemes of evidences). When all the evidences are collected each group can move to the next step.
Step 4 — 15 minutes
Definitions:
Each group should write down the definition they were hunting for with the help of the answers on the questionnaires and the evidences. The trainer mentor can help the group (see attached definitions).
Step 5 — 15 minutes
Sing a song:
Each group should set up a little show to sing a song for the other groups to make them understand which definition they hunted. Objects in the space or evidences can be used.
Step 6 — 15 minutes
Performances/shows of the groups.
Closing the activity and getting ready for the debriefing.
