Orphans and Vulnerable Children - CRIN

For this activity you will need:

 Flipchart and markers

To facilitate this activity:

1 Start the activity by asking the participants what definitions they can come up with for

growth(physiological changes) and development (psychosocial, cognitive and moral changes)

in relation to a child growing up. Write up their definitions on the flipchart.

2 Once you have a list of definitions, review the answers based on the definitions in your

facilitator’s notes.

3 Then divide participants into four groups.

Ask each group to brainstorm different changes a child experiences, as follows:

Group 1: Brainstorm the physical changes a growing child undergoes

Group 2: Brainstorm the social changes a child undergoes

Group 3: Brainstorm the intellectual changes a child undergoes

Group 4: Brainstorm the moral and spiritual changes a child undergoes.

4 Have the groups come back together and present their conclusions to the plenary.

You can write each group’s answers on the flipchart. Finally, review and summarise each

group’s conclusions.
