Sessions

Each CST session follows a general theme, with choices of activities in order to cater to the interests of the group. Members give the group a name. Consistency is created between sessions through using the same warm-up activity, an RO board (containing information about the group) and having a 'theme song'. Some equipment needs to be brought or made for the programme. Sessions are as follows:

  1. Physical games
  2. Sound
  3. Childhood
  4. Food
  5. Current affairs
  6. Faces / scenes
  7. Word association
  8. Being creative
  9. Categorising objects
  10. Orientation
  11. Using money
  12. Number games
  13. Word games
  14. Team quiz
