Just a Minute

Purpose: To help Scouts to share views and opinions on a subject and organise their thoughts

Development Stage:
• Identifying the Problem
• Developing Awareness
• Measuring change

Instructions:

• Topics concerning different aspects of the Gift for Peace are written on cards
• Each Scout in the group is given a card and some preparation time
• Each person then takes it in turns to speak for just one minute about the topic
• Once everyone has spoken there can be a discussion on the views expressed by the Scouts on the differnet aspects of the subject

Alternatives:
• Topics could be given to a patrol to prepare with one person nominated to speak
• The Scouts could take it in turns to speak to their patrol rather than the whole group

Equipment Needed: Paper (or cards) and pens
