Assessment
Facilitation Guide
Always check with the coordinator what was facilitated in the last activity. Use the
same facilitation points again if it is an issue which is important. Preferably pick
another facilitation point so as not to repeat the same lessons again and again.
Remember, there are many games and danger of over-facilitation.

to ensure success of this activity?
2. Does being the leader meant taking up the position to place the planks?
How many different ways can you be a leader in this activity?
3. To be a leader, you need followers. What makes a good follower?
how is this important in the process of becoming a leader?
If they kept getting stuck at the last section
1. How long did it take you to change your plan? Why did you decide to
change?
2. Did you find yourself doing the same thing over and over, hoping for the
same results?
3. Did you use your planning time effectively? How would you improve that
process?
4. Did you think you used all your resources? What resources were
overlooked? Do you think it could have made a difference to the outcome
of the activity?
5. Did you think there was an open platform for everyone in the group to try
out solutions? How can you ensure this process in the future?
Unbalanced contribution between group members
1. Who were the main drivers of this activity? Why did you pick this person?
2. Whose idea was this?
3. Did you think there was an opportunity for everyone to share ideas? If not,
how can you ensure this process happen in discussions?
Communication during non-verbal or blindfolded occasions

occasions? Why do you think that is the case?
