We Have Self-Control

This week, our Amazing Kids learnt the leadership skill of self-control. This skill is reinforced through our Speech and Drama. At the beginning of the session, teachers placed a bottle of sweets and chocolates on the table. Children were informed that sweets and chocolates are not good for their teeth and bodies. They are to have self-control over their desires to want to eat these sweets. As the children danced to the Red Indian Pom-Pom, one child will be chosen to move towards to sweets and chocolates. All the other children were to dance in a circle to try to stop the child from eating the sweets and chocolates. When they successfully stopped the child, everyone cheered: "Self-Control". We found that children caught this concept through experiential learning, in a fun and creative way!
