The Welcome party happens on Day 1, and is for all students on campus. The aim of the night is to encourage students to meet new people and make new friends. As the first activity of their stay, it is important that the event runs with as much energy, enthusiasm and fun as possible. 

You should start the night with some group activities such as Human Bingo or Simon Says. These ae easy, quick and fun icebreakers that help relax the students and allow them to meet other students.

Human Bingo: Students must form groups in which every criteria is met. Display a list of criteria on a large screen for all to see - the criteria could include things like "someone who has a pet cat" or "someone who plays a musical instrument". You should always include "someone of a different nationality" in the game. The aim is for students to find someone who fits the criteria, then form a group. Together they then try to find someone else to join their group, fitting a different criteria. 

Simon Says: Using a microphone, call out an instruction such as "Simon says hands on head" and act out the action. Follow with another "Simon says" instruction. The third time, give the instruction without "Simon says" and explain that the anyone who followed that instruction will lost the game from now on. As the game progresses, your instructions should become quicker, and occasionally the verbal instructions should not match your actions, to try and catch people out. Continue the game until there is only a small group left. 

After the games, you should give a short speech welcoming the students to the centre before playing music and allowing the students to mingle freely. 

You should prepare soft drinks and snacks for the evening, and depending on your centre, the welcome party will either take place on campus or at a hire venue. Either way, the evening will run the same. 

The movie night will either take place in a lecture theatre or classroom depending on the centre. 

When it comes to movie selection you need to be aware of the religious and cultural attitudes of the groups in your centre, and pick a film that will be suitable for all. All films must be at most 12A rated, with no nudity or sexually revealing clothing or innuendo. If you have two movie rooms running, a good option is to screen something like a Marvel film in one, and a Disney Pixar film in another, for example. 

You'll also need to prepare popcorn (if the venue allows it). Don't forget that you'll have to clean up after the movie too. 

This event is best run in an area with tables and chairs, something like a canteen or classroom. 

Each group of students will be given a collection of items including bin bags, paper plates, tape etc and will have some time to design and make their own outfit. You'll need some speakers to play music during this time. 

The students will then nominate one person from their group to take part in the catwalk fashion show at the end of the session. You'll need energetic music, and where possible, lights on the catwalk or stage. You should also designate one of the Campus Leaders working to be the master of ceremonies and commentate over the microphone as the fashion show takes place. 

A relaxing night held in the classrooms or canteen of the campus. Students will have access to a range of arts and craft supplies and will spend the evening creating a model based on a topic, for example London Tourist Attractions. 

The Quiz will be provided for you, but you'll need to take the role of quiz master for the night. Students will be grouped into teams, and answers should be checked throughout the night with prizes and incentives to keep energy levels high. 

For both the quiz and bingo you'll need to prepare in advance by printing the relevant answer sheets/bingo cards, and organize the prizes, speaker sand microphones. 

Typically this will be a 5-aside quick fire tournament for which the Campus Leaders will referee the games and organise the matches. 

You will need to make sure you have a first aider on duty, and that safety rules are clearly communicated to all students before they games plays. You'll find these in the activity manual at your centre.

For this activity think Squid Games meets Taskmaster! We have developed a selection of games and activities that can be played with large numbers of students, but in the largest centres you might have to run several of the same game simultaneously. Each game should last between 20 and 30 minutes, after which you can award prizes or points to the winning teams.

You'll have to carefully read the instructions and setup notes in the activities manual before you attempt to run an evening games night, as it is vital that you understand everything before you try to explain it to the students. 

You should nominate one Campus Leader to be in charge of running the entire night, and the others should support by running each individual game.

We'll provide the speakers and microphones, all you need to do is encourage the students to sign up with a song of their choice! 

You should encourage the students to pick English songs, as they are here to practice English, however some will only want to sing songs from their country, which is also ok. 

You should be ready and willing to join student groups or even perform as a team of Campus Leaders! 

The final night of the students' two-week stay will be a talent conest. Students should be told about this throughout their stay so they can practice or prepare anything they need to for their performance. 

To determine a winner, you should assign some students or campus leaders as judges, and have them sit at a visible table throughout. It is important to pick students from different groups for this. 

After the talent contest, the students will enjoy the rest of the night with music, dancing and relaxing. This is also a time for you to say goodbye to all the students and group leaders that you have spend the last two weeks with. 

You'll have control of the music via either a phone or laptop, just don't give direct access to the students!
