Marchians Celebration !

Assalamualaikum and morning everyone :)

We are decided to go old school today, bringing back old games that children these days hardly play as part of the birthday celebration today. Plain simple and easy games that used to keep us entertained for hours.

We brought back 'Poison Bean' ( we use a bean bag instead of a ball ).  Believe it or not this simple game actually test your reflect, concentration and alertness. The children must be aware of their situation, be on their toes of the movement of the bean bag and sharpen their eye hand coordination movement to prevent from being the last person who holds the bean bag when the music is stop. To make it interesting we had up to 3 bags of bean circling at the same time :)

Let me hear a 'woot woot '

Arghhh !!

NK Shop - Role Play

Assalamualaikum,

Being able to become someone else or something else comes quite naturally to most children from an early age. It is a vital activity for children , stimulating their imagination and enhancing their social development, encouraging friendship through cooperation, listening and turn taking. It can improve their language and movement skills and can help them understand different points of view, go into the future or the past and travel anywhere in the world and beyond. Through role play we can explore the moral issues and problem safely.

Literacy, numeracy and other curriculum activities can all be planned as part of a role play situation. Children do love playing shop so why not use that to your advantage? There are endless varieties of shop that can he explored and utilized to encompass any aspect of the curriculum. One of the most obvious ways is using the shops to teach about money and that is just what we did at school today !
