Inspired Performance

THINK ABOUT: Sportsmen often use music to inspire their performances ask young people to put together a 3 track inspirational playlist and listen to it before playing a Wii Sports game

PLAY: choose your favourite Wii Sport tennis would be good and play a game. Now ask young people to feed back on their performance did listening to their inspirational playlist improve their performance? Did they make the right choice of music?

Recording & Evaluation

3 WORD EVALUATION: go round the group asking young people to sum up their experience in the session in 3 words. You can steer the evaluation by giving them a guide question to answer e.g. what did you enjoy most? You could also make this a 5 word evaluation but the point is to keep it short and fun you could also do this to top and tail a session to understand young peoples expectations beforehand and their learning afterwards COLLAGE: provide small groups of young people with old magazines and other good collage materials and ask them to produce an A4 collage that reflects their feelings about the session/sessions these can then be displayed and discussed by the group in terms of similarities and differences, universal themes, potential changes and follow up activities

RACETRACK EVALUATION: either print out the sheet or draw a track with a start and finish line on flip chart paper. Ask young people to draw a representation of where they feel they are on the track are they running a sprint or a longer race? - and ask them to add hurdles (to represent barriers they may have faced), a cheering crowd or any other visual element that represents how they feel their personal race has developed. Again, this could be used before and after the session

Race Evaluation
