Listen, Understand & Act it Out

Looking at the book that we read yesterday, I have an idea in mind to see if the children could do it. I’m not sure if the children could, anyhow, we just gave it a try.

I divided the children to four groups according to their seating on the floor. There’s about 5 children in a group with mixture of age except for one of the group were all 5 years old girls.

I shall read them a line from the book – “Sea Creatures”, the children have to discuss and present it with their own understanding or creativity. I purposely didn’t want to demonstrate any as to see how the children could present it.

These were some of the lines that I read to them for them to present:

-          Some creatures are long.
-          Some creatures are fat.
-          Some creatures are spiny.
-          Some have eight arms.
-          Some have only five.

Some of the actions were not done or presented clearly. For that reason, then only I demonstrated to them how they could present it.


Every two groups took turn to compete and see which group was better. Some of the groups were quite co-operative and they will somehow try to see if they could change their way of presentation while some started to argue with each other. Though the situation turned out to be a little sour among the children, however, it’s still fun to see how they work together to get a task done.

"Some creatures are fat."
(Derek, Kern Ee, Kwan Ming, Bo En & Yi Jie)

"Some creatures are long."
(Phey Zheng, Teng Hong, Aiden, Chloe & Zhi Yi)

"Some creatures are spiny."
(Qiao Yi, Jia Xuan, Yee Shuen, Shang En & Xiao Xuan)

Do we look like a star fish?

A starfish!
Wow, the kids are so creative! They thought it out themselves without much of my help!
