Happy, Happy Transportation – This is my truck (Part II)

We continued with the activity yesterday as some of the children has not complete part of the picture and most of them wanted to add on the background for their truck. So I give an allowance about 15 minutes for them to do the drawing and then I got each of the children to present their truck to their friends.

Zhen Yuan: This is my truck. (Children: Why no head one?) Oh, I have it here. (he drew it by himself). Going on a highway. Got twin tower and tol.

Children’s observation is pretty good. After a few had presented, those following at the back will somehow know what to add on. This is a very encouraging way for children to pick up useful information and vocabulary from their friends.
