Make it personal without making it generic
Use skills each person is proud of and let either participant substitute a story, demonstration, or observation-only turn.
Presentation
Place the two blank teaching cards in separate envelopes labeled 'something you know well.'
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Use the actual work area and clear only what the chosen demonstrations require.
- Skill
- Choose tasks that can be shown safely in twenty minutes and name when qualified instruction would be more appropriate.
- Maintenance
- Store the finished cards where the tasks happen and revise them only with the original teacher's input.
- Accessibility
- Offer seated, verbal, pictured, large-print, or hands-off demonstrations and avoid assuming speed or dexterity.
- Sustainability
- Use existing tools and supplies instead of buying a themed kit.
- Timing
- Schedule a calm hour when neither person is trying to finish the task for an immediate deadline.
