Energiser

Every session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some favourite games you can play if you are stuck.

  1. Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
  2. Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
  3. Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

🎡 Morning orientation

Learning Objectives

Planning during the week

🧭 During the week, create a post on Slack and get some people to take on the roles of facilitator and timekeeper. Nominate new people each time.

👣 Steps

If you haven’t done so already, choose someone (volunteer or trainee) to be the facilitator for this morning orientation block. Choose another to be the timekeeper.

🎙️ The Facilitator will:

  1. Assemble the entire group (all volunteers & all trainees) in a circle
  2. Briefly welcome everyone with an announcement, like this:

    💬 “Morning everyone, Welcome to MCB {REGION}, this week we are working on {MODULE} {SPRINT} and we’re currently working on {SUMMARISE THE TOPICS OF THE WEEK}”

  3. Ask any newcomers to introduce themselves to the group, and welcome them.
  4. Now check: is it the start of a new module? Is it sprint 1? If so, read out the success criteria for the new module.
  5. Next go through the morning day plan only (typically on the curriculum website) - and check the following things:

Facilitator Checklist

  • Check the number of volunteers you have for the morning
  • Check someone is leading each session
  • Describe how any new activities works for the group
  • Decide how best to allocate trainees and volunteers for a given block - most blocks will make this clear

⏰ The Timekeeper will:

  • Announce the start of an activity and how long it will take (check everyone is listening)
  • Manage any whole class timers that are used in an activity
  • Give people a 10-minute wrap-up warning before the end of an activity
  • Announce the end of an activity and what happens next

If necessary, the cohort can be divided into 2 or 3 groups to ensure all teams have enough time to present and receive feedback.

Create groups for React

Learning Objectives

Preparation

Open the group spreadsheet and create a new tab called “React.”

Introduction

Interacting with diverse groups fosters empathy, enhancing interpersonal skills for handling others effectively. So focus on grouping with people you might have yet to interact with so much.

Create groups for the next module's group work.

🎯 Goal: Create groups for the next module’s group work. (10 minutes)

These are the tasks that must be completed. Organise yourselves so that not only one person is doing this.

  1. You must consider trainees’ availability.
  2. You must consider how many hours of coursework or prep work has to be done in groups.
  3. You then can define the groups (look for diversity, so people that haven’t 
  4. worked together should give it a go, ensure you don’t have gendered groups, etc.)
  5. You can use this link to help you allocate people randomly.
  6. Open the existent spreadsheet for pairs/groups and create a new tab called “React” if this hasn’t been done yet.
  7. Add the groups to the “React” tab
  8. Share the spreadsheet on Slack so it is visible to everyone.

Retro: Start / Stop / Continue

  Retro (20 minutes)</span>

A retro is a chance to reflect. You can do this on RetroTool (create a free anonymous retro and share the link with the class) or on sticky notes on a wall.

  1. Set a timer for 5 minutes. There’s one on the RetroTool too.
  2. Write down as many things as you can think of that you’d like to start, stop, and continue doing next sprint.
  3. Write one point per note and keep it short.
  4. When the timer goes off, one person should set a timer for 1 minute and group the notes into themes.
  5. Next, set a timer for 2 minutes and all vote on the most important themes by adding a dot or a +1 to the note.
  6. Finally, set a timer for 8 minutes and all discuss the top three themes.
