Introduction

Last week, I was a mum and I was the first of the group Croissant to organize my game with the kids. My idea was to create a circle with the kids and use the help of the two helpers to present the game with me. The game is like the one in German "Pack dein Koffer" or so.

I choose a word in my mind and a gesture to match it. Everybody has to repeat the word and the gesture with me. The following person will have to repeat my word and gesture and add a new word, which has something to do (in the word field or association of idea ) with the last word. For example the first word is coffee: you think about tea or chocolate. Perfect.

Target group and time

The group was composed of 5 pupils: 3 boys and two girls and two helpers. The kids are in the 5. grade. I would say that one of the boys was a "leader" and wanted to talk and participate lot and one of the girls was really shy and didn't dare asking for words as much as the others.

Learning objectives

The goals are:

  • to make the kids move
  • to create associations of ideas between different words, which are usually not being put together
  • to help the kids remembering new words
  • create creative movements
  • develop kin-aesthetic memory

Instructions to set up the activity

When someone is saying a word, he has to do a gesture which represents the word according to him. Everybody has to repeat after him and make the gesture with him. When the person after the last one in the circle is talking, she has to say the last word, do the gesture and say a new word with a new gesture. The words have to be linked with each other.

For example:

  • I say chocolate and make a gesture representing a cup of coffee
  • everyone in the circle repeat the word and gesture together
  • the next one repeats the word and gesture
  • he adds a new word and gesture
  • everybody repeats AND SO ON

Letting it run

The kids played but I guess that they didn't really understood the game or I didn't explain it well enough. They were just repeating words after words and they were not linked with each other. I guess they were just saying what they had in their mind at that moment (like football- handball-school-boxing-ice cream). 

I think that I should make some new rules next time like a circle with a word field about blue things, or about vegetable, or about school stuffs, so that they understand the association of ideas better. 

I was a bit disappointed but I will have another try next time!!
