ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss the importance of preparing for a satisfactory ending to the programme. It will include ideas for end-of-group celebrations and case studies about how some children handled the end of the programme and looked at what they could do next to continue their healthy, active, outdoor lifestyle. It will include an end-of-group invitation to parents to photocopy, an attendance certificate for the children on completion of the programme and a reward note for the children for special achievements. It will also include ideas of ways for children to record their experience and the final goodbye song (p.167) and will conclude with the group leaders’ personal reflections made at the end of one of the programmes.
