Give them a moment to read the quotes, then ask them to start playing.
Bring everyone back together near the end and hear some of their points…
You’ve heard of the golden rule, haven’t you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.
A true leader is one who is humble enough to admit their mistakes.
Leading means running fast enough to keep ahead of your people.
Leadership is action, not position.
A team is the reflection of its leadership.
Leaders do not create followers they create more leaders.
As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
 First rule of leadership – everything is your fault.
 You’re not a leader until you have been elected.
 If people can hear you, then you are a leader.
 One of the most important leadership lessons is realising you’re not the most important or the most intelligent person in the room at all times.
 Leaders listen and respond to those around them.
 A leader stands alone.

4. Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy
11.30am-11.38am
Watch youtube clip and then ask students what they think it means. Hear a few peoples responses then discuss how they are followers of the PASS scheme, but they will be leaders when they have their first session and it up to them to treat their attendees with respect and nurture them and treat them equally in order to make them follow you.
It important that you discuss the power balance and that by nurturing and giving people a voice you are giving them power, which makes them want to follow you but also become a leader one day!

7. What is facilitation and what techniques will help you in your role as a PASS Leader?
Strategy card number 21: Jigsaw
Write notes in your workbook to refer back to.
11.50am-12.10pm
Explain that on your tables you are going to be using strategy card number 21: Jigsaw.
This strategy involves everyone reading a bit of information and then sharing that information with the group (so not everyone has to read everything!!). It can be adapted that perhaps you assign each person in a group a maths questions to solve or something to research then you all come back together and share information etc.
Hand out conducting sessions sheets. In groups of 5/6 you will each read an assigned sections, pick out the key points and they share with the rest of your group. Someone will volunteer to lead this, you have until to complete this activity. – make sure you write notes in workbook!
