For those wanting Follow Up Sessions

---

If you do extended activity sessions, you become much more familiar with answers used during board play. Doing Follow Up sessions doubles the number of times you meet, alternating between a board game session, then a Follow Up session for review activities. Some organizers might offer prizes to participants that complete both sessions. (Max is 6 players to a board game group...4 is ideal.) Some organized person needs to set up and manage meetings. 

At the end of the first board play session, participants pick an Assignment activity (see list below) they will need to complete for the Follow Up meeting. This is to focus on game card challenges just played. Participants will decide/or be assigned different activities to share for the 2nd session. These activites spice up that session. 

The leader might motivate follow through by preparing to provide a separate snack, recognition or privilege to those who do their assignment. A party is suggested for anyone who successfully achieves the Certificate of Completion that you can run off to show them (found in the Game Manual).

*****Leaders should make sure this Follow Up study will be a very positive                       experience for everyone!

The Follow Up Session

a. Leader begins Follow Up session with a warm up scenario or a short personal experience related to the game session already played.     

b. Leader makes copies ahead of each 7 card back answers already played (get from Share with Others booklet or the game box packet). Distribute these 7 challenge answers to all players. You might ask if anyone share all answers from one card first. 

c. Read the first challenge and have different people read the answers. (Every oral review helps embed.) Take just a few brief comments if anyone has an

additional suggestion for an answer.

d. Participants then share completed assignments they had chosen to do from 

the Assignments list during the prior board game session. (Be ready to do an activity in case no one prepared.)

e. The leader has prepared small papers to pass out to each participant with games rules. They going to follow the same format as the board game for the next activity. 

1. Reword the challenge "So you're saying..."

2. Ask a question to respond. (Use eye contact.)

3. Have an accurate response.

Next, choose or assign partners. Each partner will play both parts as Challenger then Responder.  (Spread people out in the room.) Players MUST LISTEN very carefully to hear the leader's signals. 

f.  Once partnered up, the leader reads the first challenge two  times, then allows 1.30 seconds for each opposing partner to respond. Encourage people not to use their answer sheets unless they have to.)

THE LEADER MUST KEEP THINGS MOVING THROUGH THESE         

CHALLENGES! 

g. Once 7 challenges have been given, ask for evaluations. What went well? 

Any improvements? Did players reword, respond with questions, give eye     

contact? The leader needs to make comment on good practices observed.

Be encouraging. Sometimes it only takes one good answer to meet a      

challenger's need. We should  NOT overwhelm any questioner.

Congratulate all player's efforts!! 

h. Have those who did follow up activities share their efforts.

Schedule the next board game play.
