WATCH PARTY GUIDE

Fastbreak is digital this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to experience it alone! Here are some ideas for how you can gather safely with others. As you have experienced, things develop daily with COVID-19. Make plans for how to gather, but be prepared to adjust your plans. Remember to practice social distancing, mask wearing, and handwashing. If you are meeting as a larger group, take time to consider how to direct people as they arrive, break for meals, or engage socially together in order to follow safety guidelines. If you need additional help, please email cru-nyc@cru.org.

IDEAS FOR GATHERING

• Invite your church to host the watch party

• For the seminar times, consider having smaller rooms available nearby, or encourage people to bring headphones and watch those portions on their laptops

• Have a specific point person to walk your group through whatever you plan to do in the scheduled breaks, meal times and free time

• Connect your laptop to a larger TV so you can all watch together

• Plan a late night or breakfast hangout around the sessions for your groups

• Have a drawing from the people that come to your watch party for fun door prize

• Plan your group outreach in advance. If you have questions you can see the outreach page or contact us at cru-nyc@cru.org
