Whether you are setting up a sibling group for the first time or have been running groups for many years, this section will give you guidelines and activities to help you run your group

My world

Purpose

This is a great activity to undertake with siblings in the first session of a group. It allows siblings the opportunity to express what they value in their life and is a good introduction to discussing their life.

You will need

A large plate
Pens and paper
Any other material for decorating the picture eg sequins, stickers, feathers etc

How to do it

Ask siblings to draw a circle using the plate as a guide. This is their world on which they can represent their life. Siblings then imagine floating over their world and draw what they might see. Workers could provide some ideas of areas to cover:

My favourite colour
My best friend
Things I do after school
My pets
Things I am good at
My favourite TV programme
Where I go at weekends and holiday
Best subject at school
Favourite sport
My hobbies
My family
My favourite pop group
My best achievement
