So then I was reading this story about how teens don’t know how to do a lot of the basic skills that we used to take for granted because no one is teaching them. Know how to sew on a button? Most teens don’t. Know how to tie a knot or pitch a tent? Sadly, a lot of teens don’t.
1) Do it over spring break with a different themed day every day. Set up stations where tweens and teens do different tasks. For example, you could have a clothing themed day where at one station they sew a button, in another they sort baskets of clothes for washing, and in another they fold fitted sheets. And a lot of these activities can be turned into types of relay games to make it fun.
or . . .
2) Do a series of Thursday programs (because, you know, Throwback Thursday) for say a month. Again, each week of the month gets a theme. You can also throw in some old school board and video games. And crafts!
