Term 2: SIMPLY SPONTANEOUS Workshop

• The score for Spontaneous challenges makes up a 1/3 of the total score so it is essential that teams are provided with a range of thinking skills. Scoring criteria includes assessing teams for how they go about generating a multiplicity of creative responses to the stimulus; how well they work together as a team; how they organise their reponse. This workshop helps facilitators and teams to develop a range of goup work and creative thinking skills they can apply to all the different types of Spontaneous Challenges they may need to solve on Tournament Day.
