Game: Playing with the “Seal”

Today, we shall try to play a game about seal. Before we start, this was our discussion:

Teacher: Children you mentioned that you did see a seal dance.

Kwan Ming: Yes, Zoo Negara. (National Zoo)

Teacher: What is the seal or sea lion doing?

Children: Swimming.

Teacher: What else did the seal or sea lion do? (There’s a lot of other answer such as swimming, eating fish etc. I drew a cone on the white board to see if any of them could remember.)

Kern Ee: Oh, throw a circle to the seal.

Teacher: Yes, you are right.

We needed the following things for the games today:

-          some coloured rings (that can fit into the cone)

-          2 coloured cones (to be pretended as the seal or sea lion)

We also set some rules for the games. This is a trial game.

-          No crossing the line indicated

-          Each children can try to throw 5 times

-          Once the children could get 3 rings into the cones, they will get one stamp. 

We are ready!

Chloe: I shall throw now!

We started the game for about 2 rounds but the children found it difficult to get 3 rings for a stamp. Therefore, after the game, we had to revise the rules again. This time round, the children decided to reduce to 1 ring for 1stamp. All of them also agreed that they could claim a sweet for 3 rings. We shall use this rule for the game the next day.
