Being a student facilitator we want to share our knowledge to the children. So, last March 29, 2019 we had an activities held in Maranatha Christian Academy which is nearby CTU main campus. Upon entering Maranatha Christian Academy the school fascinates us because the maranathian speaks English fluently, they were so kind and the environment made us feel nervous but it was overwhelming when they welcomed us in their school.
When we started the program with different activities each facilitator facilitates their particular activities. The first activity was all about story telling. The children was so excited to listen to the story and they quickly gives feedback when they been asked by the reader of the story and they enjoyed the story entitled “Daddy’s Hammmock.”
Next activity was “Energizer.” all children was so eager to dance especially when they heard the music. Like they want to hit the ground and have some showdown with their facilitator. We play the best music that we could ever have so that we both enjoy the art of dancing.
Next activity was all about sand paper writing where the kids are asked to draw anything they wanted to draw using Sand paper and any drawing materials brought by the facilitators, the purpose of this activity was letting kids Express their ideas though drawing and also enhancing their cognitive skills. We all know that kids are fan of drawing and art is one of their favorite hobbies, so by the end of the activity we found talented kids or so called young artist with their impressive masterpiece and everybody was having fun with this activity.
The following activities was the puppet show, munch kin making, and blow the balloons, where the facilitators with their respective activities having fun with kids, Puppet show gives excitement to children were we could see through their faces the amazement and curiosity about the show where it was all about the little three pigs and the fox.
Munchkin making was also one of the best activity, literally we could say that kids look likes they were a young chef while making munchkins. They are so adorable and attentive in every detail and instructions that the facilitators gave. It’s like they are given a challenge and also a wonderful experience in this activity.
The last but not the least, is the activity called blow the balloons, where the kids are being asked to do an experiment on how to air the balloons using a little chemistry. They are given a substance and materials like baking soda, vinegar, and the balloons, the goal for this activity is to enhance the analytical thinking skills of the kids, like they were asked to thnk outside the box while making the experiment of making the balloons blown.
With a whole day full of activities and experience literally I was also surprised because basically I was not expecting to have this kind of experience, like it was one of my unforgettable experience in the field of education and as an aspirant educator. With this experience I could say that this is beyond my expectations and thanks God for giving me this wonderful experience.
