OBJECTIVES: (Relatedness)

 

  • Develop a network of students in each respective recreational activity where they can discuss challenges they may face; facilitate new friendships
  • Teens from various recreation activities are guest speakers and share their management skills

  • Sharing when they hear well and when they may not (e.g. whistle/timer)
  • Implementation of strategies – shared responsibility
