Activity Templates – Make Your Event a Success
This “Soft” Skills Integration resource is a set of three activity templates that teach students how to plan and execute a successful FFA chapter event. Through reflection, content sharing, and scenario-based group practice, students learn the key steps of event planning while developing teamwork, professionalism, and organizational skills. It includes four event scenarios (an FFA Week assembly, a community service project, an awards banquet, and a wreath/poinsettia fundraiser) for group practice.
