Introducing Developmental Assets

JLBC LEADERSHIP TEAM ACTIVITY/TEAM BUILDING IDEA

Name of Activity: Introducing Developmental Assets

Time Needed: Number of Players: Materials Needed:

Preparation Needed (Ahead of Time): Print the name of an asset on balloons. Instructions:

1. Blow up the balloon and hand one out to each participant. Instruct them to find others with the same asset.

2. Ask each participant to share what they thought when they saw the words on their balloon with their group. What does this mean for youth or adults in our community? How can we help the child build this asset? How can we support this asset?

3. Have the group make an ASSET BRIDGE with the balloons. Connect all the balloons in a rainbow or bridge shape and display them throughout the event.

4. Follow with activities or more discussion on asset building.
