Background Context -
Outside the Great Hall, there is a semi-open field with 7 moderate size picnic tables with the benches attached to the table. The picnic tables are moveable but are currently set up to be 15 feet away from each other from the prior activity. 

There are additional 10 long wooden benches to be found under the porch of the nearby Armory.  The inside of the armory is currently being set up for another activity and is not available.

The academy policy is that an assigned group may move to a new location once all their assigned students have arrives. A counselor from that assigned group just needs to radio the Director-on-duty to notify them of the new on-site location before they move. This is for risk management reasons in case an emergency happens.

Here Is What Is Happening -
You noticed that the students in your activity are getting easily distracted by the other activities that are occurring. In addition, several of your fellow staff are forced to stand up because there is no where immediate to sit.

Please describe what do you do.
