Plan, Do, Review

Whakamahere, Mahi, Arotake

Plan, Do, Review is how we approach every activity in Scouting. There are 3 steps in this cycle:


Plan

Whakamahere

Decide what you are going to do, and how you are going to do it

Do

Mahi

Put your plan into action!

Review

Arotake

Think about how it went, what went well, what you might do differently next time, and how you can use what you learned the next time you plan

Why use Plan, Do and Review?

He aha tatou Whakamahere - Mahi - Arotake

Plan Do and Review is a simple cycle that is used to design not just Scout activities but can be used for everyday life experiences. When you Plan, Do and Review, you are maximising the chances of having an effective and fun experience with some good learning opportunities. Anyone can use this framework, including young people, leaders and other volunteers

Once you have reviewed your activity/experience that’s not the end. With Plan, Do and Review cycle you can carry on what you do, learning more about yourself and making activities better

  • What would you change if you were to do it again?
