16 • MODULE TEN: REACHING MY GOALS: ENERGIZERS, WARM-UPS AND RELAXATION
Directions:ACTIVITY ONE
Revisiting My Lifeline- Pair the children preferably with the same buddy as in the earlier lifeline activity. Encourage
them to discuss each other’s lifeline right from the beginning (when they were born). They
should then discuss the events that they want to take place at different points in the future. - The children should discuss if they want to make changes and if so, ‘why.’
- Encourage the children to share only the changes and the “why” with the wider group. (The
changes would hopefully be because of the life skills they have learned.)
Review
Congratulate the children for the wonderful work they have done. Ask them to think of all that they
have learned during the program and share one of the lessons learned with the rest of the group in
the next session.ACTIVITY TWO
Magic Box- Remind the group of all the sessions and activities undertaken. If possible, list them. Ask the children
to talk about what they have learned or liked about each session or activity. Encourage everyone to
talk and allow one person to make only one statement. Move quickly through this activity. - Inform the group that they can come at any time and seek help from the facilitator. Remind the
buddies that their responsibilities continue even after the sessions are over. - Give each one their “magic box” and encourage them to decorate it as they like.
- Distribute all the materials, such as the paper plates (where everyone had written positive
qualities), the shields, the cards with their goals and the lifeline. - From the notice board, give each child cards written by their secret admirer. Have the children
guess who it might be and let the real person reveal her/his identity. - Remind the children that when they feel low or sad or happy, they can open their magic box and
look at all the wonderful qualities they have. - Thank them for being in the program.
- Tell the children to contact you at a specific time if they would like to continue meeting or want to
develop a group such as a street children’s club or a peer club. (If the group is interested in
developing such a group, see ideas for a peer education program in the Facilitator’s Guide.) - Conduct an evaluation exercise such as the ‘H’ evaluation. (See Facilitator’s Guide for an
explanation of this exercise.)
Close the program by lighting a candle and passing it on from person to person and singing a song
that has words of inspiration. Any exercise may be chosen, but it is important to close on a positive
note. The facilitator must participate in this ceremony.
