Group Planning Exercise Tips
- Keep the time limit in mind.
- Prioritize the different tasks; don’t just randomly do anything.
- Try to assume hidden resources even if they are not mentioned (if there is a river, there must be a lot of water and fish also).
- Listen to others’ plans as well, you are not alone, it’s a group task.
- Divide the group logically for the faster and safer accomplishment of tasks.
- Try to use safe methods and never put yourself in a dangerous situation intentionally.
- Read the situation carefully, and note down the correct timings in your mind. All tasks must be done in relation to the time taken and time left.
