The Golden Derby Group EAL Activity

An Equine-Assisted Learning Group Activity
Bring excitement, creativity, teamwork, and meaningful life-skill development into your next EAL group with the Gold Derby Activity! Designed for groups of children and teens, this engaging horse-themed experience encourages participants to build confidence, communication, collaboration, emotional awareness, problem-solving, and resilience through interactive challenges and derby-inspired fun alongside the horses.
 
Participants work together through themed activities, creative storytelling, obstacle challenges, team decision-making, and derby-style games that naturally encourage connection, peer interaction, and personal growth in a fun and supportive environment.
 
This activity is highly engaging for residential programs, schools, youth groups, EAL programs, and therapeutic settings. To make the experience even more engaging and interactive, the activity also includes a fun derby-themed add-lib worksheet that encourages participants to creatively incorporate their own feelings, ideas, experiences, fears, strengths, and imagination into the group story. Kids and teens absolutely love the humor, creativity, and teamwork this brings to the activity while still naturally encouraging reflection, communication, and emotional connection in a safe and playful way. While primarily designed for kids and teens, the activity can easily be adapted for adult groups, corporate teams, wellness retreats, and experiential learning programs.
