Description

There are lots of things that we haven’t been able to do due to coronavirus – see friends, hug a grandparent, go shopping or visit a favourite café.

Use this activity to encourage the YHP to accept and let go of the things they missed out on due to the lockdown, and to look forward to things they can do in the future

Things I’ve missed out on - Letting go

Talk to the YP about things they couldn’t do during lockdown. They can write or draw each item on a small piece of paper. Ask them how they feel about each thing they’ve missed. We can’t change this situation, so we need to accept that those events are gone for ever. One by one, scrunch up the pieces of paper and throw them away, letting them go for good.

Things I am looking forward to - Future plans

Encourage children to make a list or draw pictures of things they are looking forward to doing in the near future. You could leave this up in the hall all term to remind everyone of the good things to come and let people add to it whenever they want. This is also a good way to get ideas of what the Young People want to do in their Sections in the coming weeks too.
