Activity Name: “Robert’s Rules of Trail Mix”: Robert Rules of Order Practice
Materials Needed: Large mixing bowls, cups for trail mix dispersion, trail mix foods (Cheerios, pretzels, mixed nuts, M&Ms, yogurt covered raisins, etc.)
Instructions for the Facilitator: First, ensure that you’ve not chosen any foods that are likely to trigger allergies from the MCs and other participants. The Member Educator entertains a motion to place a food item into the mixing bowl. During discussion, amendments should be added to modify the motion based on the language. Example motions may include “Placing the cereal in the bowl rather than the whole box”, etc. Continue the motion and amendment process until there are 2 different bowls of trail-mix with varying amounts of each ingredient. Be mindful of the amount of time spent in the activity (it can quickly be derailed if there isn’t a timer and guidance in the discussion from the Active members).
