Leadership Activity Report
On Thursday, November 20
our group presented Chapter 10 – Leadership in Social
th
Recreation. The group consisted of 5 individuals: [names removed]. Our goal was to
present the most important information from the chapter in a fun and entertaining way.
As a group, we wanted to address key points while relating them to relevant, real life
e
xperie
nces.
Our first step in achieving this goal was to meet as a group. We utilized the in‐class
meetings to get to know each other. We threw out ideas on what we were thinking
regarding the chapter. Since we had not all read the chapter by the first in class meeting, I
set an expectation that we were all to read the chapter by the next in class meeting. During
our second meeting, we discussed the idea of using games to support the key points of the
chapter. As a group we split up who was going to cover which aspects of the chapter.
[Names removed] were going to think up and facilitate two types of games: One game
would work well in social recreation and the other would struggle to succeed in social
recreation. [Name removed] was in charge of discussing the budgetary aspects of planning
events. [Name removed] and I were to cover the chapter’s key points.
Over the weeks leading up to the presentation, [name removed] sent an email out to
the group, which proposed several possible game ideas. She was looking for the group to
decide on the games. I recommended to her that she just pick the two games, that way
there would be less confusion. [Names removed] met separately from the group to discuss
how they were going to implement the games. The two of them came up with the idea of
throwing a surprise birthday party for the professor. They proposed this idea to the
group, and we all were in agreement. This gave our group a theme to base our
presentation on. The theme was set three weeks prior to the presentation, so that gave us
time to plan the festivities.
One week prior to the presentation, the entire group met again. During this
meeting, some of the job duties were re‐assigned. [Name removed] took over one of the
games and [name removed] was put in charge of purchasing and gathering all of the
materials for the birthday party. I proposed that we meet two days before the
presentation. I suggested that we bring some ‘talking points’ to share with the group.
When we met two days before the event, I gave each member of the group a printed
out copy of my major speaking points. This document ended up being the outline of the
entire presentation. We discussed the games that we were going to facilitate and where
