In the game session, we played a very simple vocabulary game. 

The children have to think a word and the other children have to give another word based on the last alphabets given just now.

As well, we also teach them different words that represent the alphabets they learned.

In the singing session, the children sang “ten little Indians”.

While in story reading session, the children learned about “bullying”.

The teacher explained to them what is bullying, and why bullying happens in society.

In the activity session, the children have to share some of their ideas.

Most of the answers quite logic but it was not concrete enough.

Due to the managed to finish all the tasks given on time, so the teacher rewarded them to dance “Oppa Gangnam Style” song.

In the reading sessions, the teacher gave them “transportation” article.

What is the transformation of the transportation, when it's started, and some history about the transportation.

In the activity session, the children had to share with their friends about the transportation and what are their benefits.

While in the game session, I gave them play “silent game”. The silent game teaches them how to express things in correct manners. 

The importance of outdoor play

The great outdoors is one of the oldest play places in the world, where children play some of the most interesting games. 

Playing outside today is rare as children:

·         Spend more time indoors in front of the television or computer and being ferried everywhere in the car.

·         Parents worry about stranger danger and playing on roads (rightly so!) and tend to prefer our kids to be supervised indoors.

·         Some experts say this "over-sanitized" approach is leading to the rise in learning and health conditions such as dyspepsia, asthma and obesity.

·         Parents should, of course, protect their children by teaching them about stranger danger and road safety, but also find ways of making outdoor ‘free' play safe.

The fun of outdoor play

Besides being out in the fresh air, one of the big benefits of outdoor play versus indoor play is being free from parental and adult restriction.

Playing outside actually give children the chance to:

·         Understand complex speech and language patterns like phonology, grammar and syntax

·         Develop more complex skills around friendships and social engagement


How parents can encourage their kids to play outside
§        Encourage young children to play outside at least once a day - even when the weather is bad. Children need to experience all types of weather, so don't allow bad weather to stop. Just dress appropriately.

§        As your child gets older, teach them road safety skills and walk around your suburb with them to help them become streetwise and get to know people.

§      Talk to your child about stranger danger and teach them what to do in an emergency.

§         Look for places where your child can play outside, even if you don't have a backyard. Think about local parks or even on the footpath outside home if the street is generally free of traffic.

§         Make sure your child knows how to travel by bus, tram or train by doing it regularly together.

§       When children are old enough to go out alone, it can develop a protocol: they should always let you know where they are going and with whom; check in regularly with you or other trusted adults.

§       As children get older encourage them to go on ‘everyday adventures' and to take ‘safe risks'.
