Leadership Considerations:

1. This activity can be conducted with any age group in any setting. This would be beneficial for
individuals with ADHD because it can used to work on concentration and self expression. In
children especially this a unique way to focus on one task.
2. This game can always be adapted to a different scenario other than a tropical island, such as a
park or a library, based on the groups interests.
