This week I have learn a whole lot from my programme visits. I have gathered some fantastic planning ideas for my workshop at the Conference as well as some amazingly creative activity ideas. I’m looking forward to visiting programmes that are going roller skating, having dance lessons and sumo wrestling.
As well as sharing the many other ideas that are out there this week I’m visiting a few programmes at parks. So many parks are different and have different resources available to your programme from tennis or basketball courts to huge swings and paddling pools. Some fantastic parks to visit around Christchurch include
- Centennial Park, with its huge tyre and rope swings in St Martins,
- Woodham Park in Richmond, which has a paddling pool and a beautiful garden,
- Rishlingholm in Opawa, which is where the butterflies roost in the winter time, and
- Victoria Park up in the hills, a fantastic place for big adventure such as orienteering and day walks.
Some parks have something a little different such as a croquet area or pentanque courts. I have planned a whole French theme day around these activities taking a little cooker or bbq and making crepes and hot chocolate.
Just take a second look at some of the parks in your areas and try something new when planning your next programme.
