A FEW CELEBRATORY SONGS
PRACTICAL ACTIVITY
Ask members what they are most proud of.
Perhaps they excelled at school or university, perhaps there was a significant contribution they made in their occupation, or perhaps they raised a wonderful family.
Perhaps they have a skill that is remarkable, for example being able to play a musical instrument, being an artist or author or being fluent in another language.
Have members draw or paint a gold medal and ribbon to award themselves for their 'Best Lifetime Achievement'. (And a silver and bronze medal if there is time!)
Maybe illustrate the background with an image of what it is they have excelled at.
