What Is it All About?
Use a public space or already scheduled event to share your message through a short skit on a topic related to growth and development (e.g., body image, diversity, healthy relationships, and self-esteem) with a large audience.
Why Do It?
People are already at the event, so you have a captive audience!
How Do We Do It?
As a group, think about the message you want to share.
Create a script for a short show or presentation.
Work with the adult ally and/or organizers of the event for permission to do an activity during the event (pitch your idea!)
Recruit people to participate—get the team members involved.
Use references to popular celebrities or trending topics (e.g. current hashtags) to make your skit or presentation fun and relevant to your audience.
Practice the skit or presentation.
Perform!
What Else Do We Need?
- Paper, pens
- People and permisson
- Optional: Costumes and props
How Do We Get Creative?
Buy, make, or borrow creative costumes.
Record the show and post it to YouTube.
Combine this with another activity, like a pledge or petition.
See if you can get access to the PA system to make announcements during your show.
Have the audience participate by signing a pledge or participating in the show itself.
