Write a song. There is bound to be musical talent in your club whether it is singers, musicians or lyric writers. You could start off by writing alternative lyrics to popular tunes or by creating rhythms. Most clubs have a keyboard or drums. How about suggesting that they create a club song or a song about something they care about? Older children might want to have their own talent show. BAND also has some musical equipment you can borrow.

*Remember: always risk – assess your activities!
