Celebrate the Holidays and Your CTE Students
We can only imagine the tremendous amount of work that you have put in to making sure that each student gained the knowledge and skill that they need to prepare them for their futures!
As always, we are here for you, and NTHS wouldn't be the organization it is without all of you!
We give you our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes for a wonderful holiday season.
It's time to celebrate the hard work that you and your students have put in to make the absolute best out of a challenging year. Below are a couple easy ways to engage your members before the semester ends and to celebrate together.
For Current Members - Have a Virtual Chapter Holiday Celebration
While just getting together via a video conferencing platform can be a great way to connect, below are some ideas for activities you can do virtually to have fun and engage with others.
- Virtual Trivia: Make your own Jeopardy Style Game or use a Random Trivia Generator and award some virtual prizes to your teams.
- Virtual Pictionary or Charades : Grab a pencil and paper and use this word generator for Pictionary or Charades activities.
- Virtual Bingo: Choose traditional bingo or mix it up with movies, sports or a variety of other topics.
- Virtual Scattergories: Like to think creatively? You can try out virtual scattergories and have everyone share their answers after the timer ends.
- Conversation Starters: If you're having trouble getting the conversations started, here is a list of conversation starters that you can use.
For New Members - Hold a Virtual Induction
