Characteristics of an Activity that will actually get used! • K I S S . . . Keep It Simple & Short Activity must be easily understood, and should last no more than 10 min (developmental flexibility). • Give It Legs Activity can be designed to do a short bit everyday for a week, or month, or season. • If They Build It . . . They’ll Use It Activity has a creative component that is developmentally appropriate and not too complicated.
Characteristics . . . • Family Moment Connected Activity is design to integrate with key family moments such as meal time, bed time, car time, leave-taking, homecoming, etc. • Life Stage Connected Activity responds directly to a felt developmental need. • Learn Something New. Activity offers religious information that is compelling, honors learning styles, connects to family living, and connects to deeper issues of life, death, deep meaning.
Characteristics . . . • Model in Gathered Setting Activity(s) are more likely to be done at home when modeled in the gathered setting. • Depth Whether heads, hearts, or hands, the activity takes users to a deeper level of growth. • Hits Home Activity is more than just relevant, it touches heart and soul with just the right thing at the right moment.
