2 - meeting with the youth ages 8-12

September 26, 2007

Today we met with the younger group that makes up the YP, ranging in age from 8-12. We did some brainstorming sessions in small groups about what they would like to see in the YP space.

Some of the funniest suggestions:
-huge rubber duck
-spaceship
-roller coaster
-sweet machine
-indoor snow machine
-shoe monster

Some of the funnest suggestions:
-party tent
-carnival
-pet show
-game day
-big hill to sled down
-climbing wall

Some of the most workable suggestions:
-barbeque
-zip line and tree house
-swing/bench/hammock
-teepee
-dance party
-shoe rack

After the small group brainstorming sessions each group presented their best ideas in charade form or a short skit. It was pretty hilarious. For the last hour, Simone and Oren ran games with the kids. Fun was had by all, and the whole group felt energized by being around the younger group.
