Running the Activity
1. Explain that this exercise will help us to understand and get to know one another better by revealing
our some of our ideals and motivation
2. Tell the group that they will have ten minutes to write a travel itinerary for their ‘Dream Trip’
3. Ask them to imagine that their employer is so pleased with their performance that they have been
awarded a month of paid leave and an unlimited travel budget. In addition, a team of domestic staff
and child carers are available to take care of their responsibilities at home so they can choose
whether or not to take their families with them.
4. Reiterate that the itinerary must contain as much detail as possible, including who would be
travelling, by what means, air, sea or train and in what class. Explain that you want them to include accommodation details and a list of the places they would visit, even down to the photographs they
would take.
5. Monitor time announcing when there are 5, 3 and 1 minute/s remaining
6. After 10 minutes check that the majority of the group have finished and call time or offer an
extension of 1 or 2 minutes as you see fit
