Hey, I've got this training assessment in a few weeks and my task is to plan and teach a 15 minute session on anything I like, however it must display EDIP, which is to Explain, Demonstrate, Imitate and Practice. Therefore, without sounding patronising, I must explain and demonstrate something and the class must then imitate it and then practice it.
I'm just having a problem with what I could teach which follows these four rules for about 6 people. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated :) Thank you in advance !
Update:The age group is basically from 11 - 16 and are literally of any ability from less able people to highly educated people. But it does not matter how simple the topic I teach is. Someone else is planning to teach handwashing ..

Chelsea's right about the cookery stuff. decorating & garnishing are quick, easy options for any age-group, customized at their level, of course :-)
besides, you could try
--- a dance step
-- a short pantomime
-- a song parody
-- making a greeting card
-- making a paper flower
-- origami
-- a style/technique of painting - eg. spray, string, marble, etc.
-- how to maneuver a string puppet
-- how to make a marionette
-- potting a plant
-- kneading flour
-- making a dust jacket for books
-- fabric painting
-- decorating a t-shirt
hope these help too
all the very best & have fun :-))
ADDITION : how about a card trick ? Everybody Loves a card trick. choose a simple one, which you can explain in a few minutes.
if someone has chosen handwashng, you could try knotting a tie or making a bow ;
gift-wrapping with a bow ;
covering a book ;
simple gift-wrapping ;
making a gift tag ;
folding table napkins ;
& so on.
Practical Lesson Ideas
One that I've seen used to good effect showing the importance of giving clear, step by step instructions used making paper airplanes, but you could adapt it to any similar activity that everyone sort of knows how to do, but doesn't do extremely well.
One plus for this one is that you only need paper to do it. Pass out 2 sheets per person and just have everyone make one airplane without instruction. Pick a target, count to 3 and have everyone launch their planes at once. Most will not go far or fly very straight. Next, having experimented and practiced well in advance, give careful fold by fold instructions for an effective aerodynamic plane. Repeat the launch. It should be much more effective.
Look at the film 'Phone Booth' It only has one scene in it for the whole film which you could get ideas from and maybe make a shorter version of it without copying it too much
how old are these people? ... I used to be in this class in hs and we had to do stuff like that for elementary school kids .. anyway the easiest thing it explaining how to cook something or take like a cupcake and explain how to decorate it to make it look like a spider (for Charlotte's Web lol involved upsidedown cupcake, icing, pretzel sticks, and m&m's) ... anyway something like that could be fun and everyone likes to be taught something that follows with a tastey snack
