There wasn't enough time to do whole lessons during this week so I did some activities during play time. I suggested for children to play hide and seek so that I can observe them and they were very excited. I asked two children to hide their eyes while other should hide together.
It was a very fun game children enjoyed playing it and they were playing cooperatively. The girls who were searching for others were talking and making plan of how not to let the other children win. Also the children who were hiding they decided to hide in one place and they were talking all together where to hide.
I noticed that this kind of games which encourage children to play cooperatively and it has physical movements seems to be more effective with this age group. Such games children cannot play it individually they have to interact and cooperate to play. Whereas, other activities that I encouraged children to do it in pairs while it can be done individually most prefer to do it individually. I will try to do such games and include some learning with it.
What you did is the right thing
ReplyDeleteYou think smart because the time of lessons and what ADEC wants!!
It’s great that the children have different things in their play time because usually they play the same things at outdoor time as well you find a way to do what you planed for
Good for you and honestly you are encouraging me to try things like that =)
I liked your creative thinking of applying new things and taking risks to use it good job Marwa and keep up the new ideas.
