Checking In
We started the session off by checking in. We all sat in a circle and gave how we felt a number out of 10 (10 being really great and 1 being bad).
We had a recap of the last Wednesday's session. The aim of the session was to put together the scenes that had been thought up already.
- 2 scenes - parent and child
- 1 scene - parent and police officer
Warm Up
We did some warm up activities to get us active. The first one was where everyone had to walk around and when 'stop' was shouted, everyone had to freeze. Then it was made harder by making stop mean go and go meaning stop. It was a little tricky but was great to see everybody taking part.
The second warm up that we did was a points of contact game. We had to walk around until Tundai told us how many parts of contact we had to have with the floor. It was really fun to see how creative everyone was with the different numbers.
Finally we all did a paired points of contact activity where we had to work in teams of two connected to make points of contact with the floor. Tundai called out numbers and everybody had to touch the floor with that amount of parts of their bodies.
Group Activities
We all split into groups to act out the three scenes that we had planned out together, to give our interpretations of them. It was good to see how everybody acted out their's differently.
Finish
We all checked out with higher numbers than at the beginning of the session.
Lambeth Youth Offending Team (YOT), Peabody and Poached Creative have all come together to work on a new 'Staying Safe' knife awareness play campaign. The play will be created during weekly sessions, where at least eight young people will learn how to run a successful campaign. Made up of 13-19 year olds, the sessions aim to help all participants gain new skills and have a positive effect on other young people. You can follow our weekly progress through our blogs.
