Activity Box
A searchable tool to find and use activities that will work well for an adolescent circle
This “Activity Box” includes activity guides, ranging from step-by-step guidance and instructions for activities that take 30-60 minutes, to quick and easy “energizers” and project ideas.
Some activities in the “Box” are simple games or other individual activities that can work well for adolescents meeting for the first time and/or who want to have fun with simple, energizing and relaxing games. Others are more complex activities that will work well in a sequence, for an adolescent circle that is ready for the challenge of planning and carrying out projects together based on their interests and goals. Use and adapt them to make your sessions engaging and fun!

Choosing and using Activity guides
Building activity phases: This “Activity Box” is a unique feature of the Adolescent Kit, reflecting its design for adaptability. Instead of offering modules or a manual, the Activity box enables facilitators, with adolescents, to build “phases,” or sequences of activities adapted to the situation, needs and interests of adolescents. As you begin to explore the Activity Box, it may help you to get started by learning more about the phases approach and how choose and plan a phase that works for your Adolescent circle.
Translating Activity Box materials: If you are planning to translate some or of the Adolescent Kit into a new language, contact us at [email protected] for all Activity guides, Energizers and Inspiration cards in Word and InDesign formats.
