In MUN now we're organising a 'model MUN' for the elementary students. A small section of the MUN group is working on this event, and we are split into different catagories (depending on what you want to work on). I'm in the activities group, which means that I help organise the games, bake sales, powerpoints, and other fun stuff that will be going on to keep the little kids interested and engaged.
This event will probably take up two days (half a day each) but nothing is confirmed yet. Some of the other groups include education (teaching the elementary about what MUN does, and how to come up with a resolution, etc.), and admin (deciding what day to do it on, and talking to the principal...). There are a few more groups, but I can't remember them right now.
So far in our group (Lezer, me, Shivam, Ahil, etc.) we have decided to have a bake sale, a water balloon fight, musical chairs game, powerpoint, and more. The bake sale will consist of muffins with pictures of different flags iced on them. Each country will get a certain amount of baked goods, and will have to trade them (this teaches them about the value of resources). The water balloon fight represents wars, and what MUN is striving to solve in the world. In the musical chairs game each chair will have a flag of a country on it, and when the kid sits down they'll have to say the name of the country and what continent the country is in. Finally, the powerpoints and other presentations will be educational (answers to questions about different resolutions, etc.).
