Plan Your Festival Game

PLAN YOUR FESTIVAL game

You have a budget of 25 points and you need to use at least one activity from each section

Each “card” has a coloured circle which indicates how many points the activity “costs” (time/money/skills)

Your group can add its own “card” if you have an idea for an activity. Write down what it is and how much it will “cost”

Choose one of the posters at the back of the presentation to place your cards

Look at your poster with the cards and reflect on which cards might go together

Example: Get people to “create a map” could go with getting partners to “use their specialist skill”

Stick the cards on the poster to make the connections and you have your very own pop-up festival!
