Ideas for CAS

NOTE: This is an unfinnished post, many more cas ideas to come :)

First of all let me say that the most important thing when you start off a new CAS project, is to figure out HOW to document it BEFORE you start the activity. I've personally learned that the hard way, and lost about 30-40 hours of CAS because I decided to start the project first (and then one thing takes another, and next thing you know you've done like 15 hours of CAS before you CAS before you realize you have no chance of documenting your project at the circumstances you're in)!

Think your project through before you start it!

Creativity:
Painting
How to document this?
Your products (paintings) are your documentation. Also I recoment that you buy a small/cheap book on different techniques and try them out (to make sure it gets approved quality wise), you can then also include a few hours for reading of the book!

Learn to play an instrument
If you can find someone who's willing to teach you how to play and instrument (I recoment easier instruments such as piano or bassguitar), or if you sign up for lessons somewhere you just got yourself some very easy CAS points. But if it's a private person teaching you (esspecially if it's another student), remember to clear them as your supervisor with your CAS coordinator first! And remember to set a goal with this, otherwise your unlikely to get to use it for CAS.

How to document this?
oals could be e.g: perform with this instrument at the next IB party, record 5 nirvana songs I've learn to play with this intrument, etc.

Activity:
Going to the gym/join yoga/kickboxing/whatever
How to document this?
Ussually the gym you go to (or what ever yoga/kickboxing/etc. instructer) has a handwritten or computer list of who were there and when. Just ask them for the list. As it's their own list, it's unlikely that they will mind signing as your supervisor if you kindly explain to them what they're signing.

IB sportsday &party
Both usually counts as 10 CAS points.

How to document this?
For once your CAS coordinator will be happy to sign as your supervisor! (take e.g. a picture of you there)

Paintball
The funniest way I've gotten my CAS points! It should be fairly easy to find classmates up for this (my class did it twice in one year!)

How to document this? 
Those who create/plan the event should make an attendace list, futher take a few group photos while in you paintball outfits at the feild.
