🚶‍♀️Physical - almost 2 mile walk with different aims (to lose weight, to increase fitness, to make me less out of breath when I walk…)
🧩 Skills - developing knowledge and understanding of games (interns each had a different game to understand, then had to explain it to the others ready for a competition)
🪡 Skills - learn how to sew (some repairs were made, others practised their sewing skills)
