For those wanting Follow Up Sessions

---

If you do extended activity sessions, you will embed the card back answers that were used during board play. Some organized person needs to set up and manage meetings. Adding Follow Up sessions doubles the number of times you meet as you are alternating between a board game session, then meeting again for Follow Up reviews and activities. Some organizers might offer prizes to participants that complete all game and follow up sessions. Supporters might want to help defray costs for additional board game purchases for larger groups. (Max is 6 players to a board game group...4 is ideal.) 

Following the first board play session, participants will pick an Assignments activity (see that list) they will need to complete for the Follow Up meeting (focusing on game card challenges just played). Hopefully, participants will decide upon or be assigned different activities to make the upcoming sharing times more interesting. The leader might provide an incentive(s) to motivate follow through for that next meeting...a snack, a fun privilege, some honor, a reminder phone call, or possibly use the Certificate of Completion as a reward for the very last session (found in the Game Manual).

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

a. Leader begins the Follow Up session with a related warm up scenario or   

    a short related personal experience.     

b. Leader makes copies ahead and distributes the 7 challenges with the card 

    back answers already played during the board game session. (These answers   

    can be lifted from the Share with Others booklet.)

c. Ask someone to simply read the first challenge and have another person read 

    the answers. (Every oral review embeds.)

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

    the Assignments list during the prior board game session.

e. Review game challenge. Choose partners and prepare for partner play with  leader first reminding everyone to follow the same format as used with the board game:

1. Reword the challenge "So you're saying..."
2. Ask a question to respond. (Use eye contact.)
3. Have an accurate response.

f.  Once partnered up, group listens as 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! If time, all players can now practice addressing the

    challenge. (The leader needs to make comment on good practices observed.)

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

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

    contact?

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

    challenger's need. Congratulate all efforts!!

Schedule the next board game play.
