Role Play - Teacher (Part V)

Today, we continued with the role play. It would be the last group turns - Shang En & Xiao Xuan to take charge of an activity. However, Shang En tried her best to explain the activity that she wanted to carry out with the children, yet, they still can't really get exactly what she wants. So I suggested if we could change a little of the content of it and both of them agreed.

I guided the children to ask and the 'teachers' to answer all the rules and regulations for the activity. Basically, each group will be given a box of toys. They needed to discuss with their group members and form only one item from it. They don't build it but lay the toys on the floor to form a shape of things. There were about 17 children, therefore, the children were divided into 3 groups with 6 in two groups while 5 in another group. Shang En and Xiao Xuan distributed the toys to the children after they had sat in their groups and they walked around to help them.

Most of the children were still quite confused with my explanation. Yet, after I had demonstrated my idea to them, they started to visualize the shape that I requested. Then, they started to discuss with their group mates to come out with their own idea.

These were some of the group photos taken:-

The children said they made a submarine! 

With my guidance, they worked together and make a sun.

They wanted to make an ice-cream and ended up of making a Popsicle with my guidance.  

They were inspired and managed to come out with a new design - starfish! Wonderful!
