Today was our first official helping hands session! I was
extremely excited to be back with the kids as I enjoy this club greatly. I
planned and initiated a variety of “get to know you” activities. These included
a game in which the students had to state their name, age, and favorite food in
front of the class. They later had to toss a board eraser to another student
and repeat the other person’s information. This activity improved the
children’s confidence in speaking English in front of a group and also helped
them get to know each other. The following are pictures of this activity:
In the next activity the student were asked to
organize themselves in alphabetical name order. I planned this activity in
hopes that it would improve speaking skills, memorization of the English
alphabet, and help the kids remember each other’s names.
Finally, I took
pictures of the kids that they will use next week to make name tags. Overall,
this was a productive and fun first session. Helping Hands has greatly helped
in developing my leadership and teaching skills! I took on a new challenge when
joining this club last year as it was my first experience with teaching younger
children.
