- Skit performed by each group in charge of one objective - Maybe a game called password. we have a secret word, like, "utopia" show the word to 1 volunteer, and the volunteer has to describe the word without saying the word or anything related to the class and if the class gets it right, they get a point. maybe even team work to give prizes.
 * Assessment**

Prizes: little lollipops or sweet treats, so people will be motivated to join in :)
