Room Set Up

Lunchroom: A school’s lunchroom is designed with small groups in mind. Each table usually seats eight, which is perfect for six to seven students and one or two mentors. With everyone facing each other, it makes facilitating conversations easy. When the time comes for the 20-minute multi-media presentation from up front, some of the students simply need to turn around in their chair to face the speaker.

 

Gymnasiums: Approximately 30 minutes of the scheduled time with students is spent in the gymnasium developing teamwork and expending some energy. Time together might include relay challenges, dodge ball, kickball, or some other type of fun game. Usually gym time needs to be coordinated with athletic coaches.
