Do More With Less
Fall, 2006

Below You Will Find Activities of the Week by the Month (as far as I could get for now!)

What are you going to find? First and foremost, I hope you'll find some fun activities that will help you learn and grow with the people you work with. The activities will be presented in the spirit of Experiential Education - Learning by Doing. I hope you take the time to go beyond just using the activities as a "game" or "filler," and prosess the experience to uncover the possible learnings that presented themselves.

Who can benefit from the activities? Just about anyone who works with groups looking for fun ways to learn and grow together.

How often will you find new activities? I will do my best to add an interactive activity and one lateral challenge each week. Please forgive me if I get busy!

What if you miss a week or want to go back to another month? I will have at least 12 months (or more) available on screen to choose from. I will start archiving when the need presents itself..

Can you contribute activities? YES PLEASE!! Send activity ideas to chris@fundoing.com Sorry, but I cannot accept attachements. I would suggest to just "copy" and "paste" your activity to your E-mail message if you already have it in a data base.

THANKS, and I sure hope you enjoy! Have FUN out there.... Why Not?
