An afternoon in public - mingling with the population

Guaranteed to be an absolute HIT!

Jungschar in public

- this was the aim of this special event. We deliberately wanted to get out of our localities and mingle with the population in order to become something tangible for them. Playgrounds and lawns in residential areas offer a unique opportunity for this. A playdate is an offer for the population and also a good opportunity to bypass the "pious inhibition threshold" of a chapel.

The following afternoon was successfully carried out as the "starting signal" for an Ameislijungschar; however, it can also be planned as a promotional event for an existing Ameislijungschar. If no playground is available, school playgrounds, sports facilities, lidos, central village squares, etc. are also suitable for such an event.

The preparations are quite intensive unless someone has already "thought ahead". We are therefore happy to share some of the considerations and preparatory steps with you.

Concept and offer of the afternoon A broad, well-balanced range of games is available to the children throughout the afternoon. Each post is marked with a post sheet and is supervised by a leader (one leader sometimes supervises several posts at the same time). The children choose the order of their posts themselves.
