English Camp

One of my favorite thing to do is organising an event, in most cases will turn out to be an English camp event. Although it can be tiring sometime but the result and experience that you can gain afterward are worth every second of it.

My First English Camp

English Fun Day.

As you may know my mum is an English lecturer over at UUM. So in the weekends she tend to have a lot of free time. And one of her way in spending time with us is by organising an English event. It is very good since it can teach me especially about the management of a single event. Not only that, we can have a lot of fun by doing so.

Every big success must start with a small step, so she taught me by starting from level one which is from kindergarten. What we did was a simple speaking session just to get the kids going. What I found out is that the ice breaking session is very effective in getting the children to talk because in the activity they will be talking about themselves so it sort of motivate them to speak more without having any hesitation.Apart from that, the ice breaking session will also help them to build more confident toward their new surroundings.

Ice Breaking Session

After having the ice breaking session and the students seems to be comfortable and start having confident to speak out loud we would move on to our next activity which is the grammar nazi. What we did was by having simple words and having these kids to spell out as quickly as they can. What this activity have is the competition and as their adrenaline build up the activity will motivate them to have fun while learning. Not only that, this activity allows them to learn very quickly and are able to gain a lot of knowledge in a short period of time.

To end everything, the last activity that we did was a story telling session. Because of the hardworking activity before, the children will need rest and a calming session to process and store every little knowledge that they have learned. By having a relaxing and fun story telling session, the children have relax their mind. Not only that, it will also decreases their level of adrenaline. The story telling session is just a simple reading book which will be read by me. Books such as little red riding hood, the jungle book, the bear, and pop out story books are very highly popular among kindergarten.

Reading Session

To conclude, there are a lot of English camp event that I have participated in and it has taught me a lot of knowledge both regarding the event and also the behaviors of people around me. Although it can be hard at time but the obstacles are worth getting over with because it will teach you more than you can ever imagine. Not to forget the fun in accomplishing the work.
