“Play is often perceived as immature behavior that doesn’t achieve anything,” says David Whitebread, a psychologist at Cambridge University who has studied the topic for decades. “But it’s essential to their development. They need to learn to persevere, to control attention, to control emotions. Kids learn these things through playing.”

This week our children engaged in a friend paper plane design competition. we introduced children to paper planes! The challenge: who can create a paper plane that can fly farthest. Some of them were trying to make paper planes for the first time. They struggled, learnt, help each other and actively participated. Three rounds were conducted and each time the children improvised on the previous design.

Though we have done our life-skills based workshops in several schools now, we had our own apprehensions when we entered the auditorium of Guild of Service school at Anna Nagar. The school hosts differently abled children. The kids were all assembled, enthusiastic and keeping calm to know what we are going to do. We went ahead with a warm-up mirror exercises, Build a school and Build a scene sessions. The teachers were extremely sportive to participate in all demonstrations to children.

Gradual Release Of Responsibility

Storytelling
No Response
Gradual release of responsibility during story telling. We had several engaging storytellers in this session. Children loved it and were immersed in the stories. Children were little hesitant to create their own stories and then Ariana used the principle of Gradual Release of Responsibility to get them started. She started the story, and then invited the children to join in and build the story further. By the end, many children attempted to make their own stories.
Do You Know What
Tug
Third
Do you know what a game of tug-a-war can bring out in kids? The team of girls kept mum when the boys decided that they did not want girls in their team and would rather play boys vs. girls in a game of tug-a-war. The girls won the first round and then the second and then the third. When the workshop facilitator asked the boys to consider their losing status and team up with girls, this time the girls spoke up.They very vehemently and confidently refused to include boys in their team.

“Pausing to listen to an airplane in the sky, stooping to watch a ladybug on a plant, sitting on a rock to watch the waves crash over the quayside – children have their own agendas and timescales. As they find out more about their world and their place in it; they work hard not to let adults hurry them. We need to hear their voices.” - Cathy Nutbrown

Color Activities
How To Run Faster
Members
The workshop started with an activity where children observed colors and ran fast to touch the called colors in the environment around them. This was followed by an activity where children were blindfolded and followed instructions of their team members to cross a path while avoiding stepping on mines. The workshop concluded with a coloring activity where we asked the children to re-imagine animals in colors that they wanted to.

Comebacks
We walked around the four roads in the vicinity and came back to draw large maps. Kids were divided into five teams and each team had to draw a map. And amazingly one team topped with 37 marks. They managed to get so many places right, had a good legend and did a great job. Lavanya’s team had a great legend but got bogged down with that and did not have time to complete the map. One team left out the legend altogether.

Another Sunday morning workshop with kids living in the slums near Gomti Nagar in Lucknow. This time we introduced the kids to the popular game of Twister. All children participated in the game play, each trying to do better than the others and at the same time being collaborative. It was a whole new experience for them, and they sure looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Introduce
When children are asked to build their own planet… In the first session in Chennai in the new year, we wanted to introduce the children at Vidyaniketan school about working in teams and wanted them to be more comfortable with disagreements and opinions. So we picked up a theme “Build a Planet” which was closely related what we had already done with “Build a School”.

Trust building activity in Chennai During the last workshop in Chennai before the kids leave for their winter break. We introduced them to a fun team-building activity by name “Mine-field”. One kid from each team will be directed her fellow team members from one corner of “mine” to the other corner. The catch is not hit any ‘mines’ kept on the way.
