*A government school class strength of 65+.
**Combo of the naughtiest boys and girls
***Difficult to get them to listen to you for even a minute...forget about keeping them quiet...
****Lesson to be taught: Effective communication as part of Life Skills programme..
Life Skills programme is an initiative by ppal from our office and an NGO ...working together to impart skills like goal setting, leadership and effective communication through interactive and simple programmes...
I went to the school out of curiosity to get an idea of wat the programme was all about....turned out to be quite a learning experience...
V played simple games with the children...like that whispering game...where in ...the first person whispers a complicated sentence to the next person's ear and so on. The last person is then asked to repeat the sentence and thats when u teach the kids the importance of listening and communicating effectively...
The next game was a story building session. So, if we had the 1st kid start off with.."Once upon a time, there was a farmer"...the next kid had to continue the story with ..."He had 2 wives". Kids these days are pretty creative and added quite a lot of comical and tragic twists to the farmer's story......
The Life skills programme is a wonderful initiative!! What makes the programme unique is that the children appreciate and look forward to the classes..not only to learn ...but also to teach:)
