Today's Focus
"Put it into practice!"
"Try out a new skill!"
"Get out of your comfort zone!"
I have to say that this class has challenged me in many ways. I am grateful for all the challenges because it has forced me to be creative and accept help from others! All of these things create stronger program for your children!
Today I challenged your children with some fairly difficult improv games. Each of these games required that they combine their knowledge of the alphabet, spelling, rhyming words and the ability to create lines on the fly to play the games.
We split into 2 groups and spent the remainder of the class completing improv assignments such as, "Create a conversation that makes sense. Be sure that your line begins with the letter of the alphabet that comes after the one your partner used." The conversation would continue until someone could not come up with a line that made sense of was with the right letter.
Another assignment was, "I am thinking of a word that rhymes with cat. Raise your hand if you think you know. Instead of speaking the answer, act it out!" This game encouraged self control, creativity, and knowledge of rhyming words! They did quite well!
