This week in Helping Hands we received a few new local students. The OSC kids were very excited to have new group members. Alexandra and I encouraged the new kids to get to know the group. We planned and initiated a "get to know you" game, in which the kids had to state their name and age. The student next to them then had to repeat the previous child's information and then state their own. This activity aided in the development of speaking skills and the children's general confidence . Later, as a fun way to let out energy, the kids played Simon says. This was a good exercise for the local kids as they were forced to apply their listening skills!
Finally, each OSC child paired up with a local student and they worked together to read books! This was a great way for the children to create a special bond with the local students and encouraged the development of friendship!
The following pictures exemplify this activity!
