Just by selecting the right words and images we contribute significantly to enjoyable, subconscious learning.
Firing the imagination makes learning easy and fun. Young people are full of imagination. Let them live it.
Example: Scouts run an "Everest Challenge" when developing backpacking, navigation and planning skills, instead of adults running boring talk sessions.
Kayaking: We can learn all about kayaking in the Den at our pack meetings, however we will never actually learn the experiences of kayaking, unless we try in for real. Therefore the best way is to do and learn from that.
