• The number of attendees will be determined by how the event is promoted. There will be a positive turnout if this event is advertised at a local senior's home, an elementary and high school, and in the neighbourhood. 

• Due to the pandemic, youth have missed out on many socializing opportunities, and seniors are frequently not given the chance to socialize in the first place. 

• Whether the seniors and youth intermingle or not, it's an opportunity for people to interact with one another and make friends.

TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE

• Every Saturday night for one summer month 

• School's gymnasium or the outdoor field

Suggested Action Plan

1. Locate an area in the park (preferably where there are picnic benches) to set up board games.

2. Create and print a flyer to advertise the event in schools, senior homes, and the community. Ask your friends if they might be interested in joining too. 

3. Ensure attendees sign up through text, email, or Google Forms. 

4. Connect with those who have registered to confirm the details of the event, their attendance, and whether they can donate a board game or bring an appropriate board game on the day of the event. 

5. Organize the event (will it be tournament style or different games in random spots?)

6. Create prizes for board game winners (food, gift cards, etc) 

7. Run the event!
