Hello Senior OSC families,
As Monica mentioned last week, we have introduced an initiative
called Play It Fair, where we play games that are themed around the
human rights of children, and prompt discussion following the game.
This week, our core value is respect. We played a game called "The
Loudest Game In The World". Sounds exciting, doesn't it?! It was a game
similar to telephone, where a message or phrase is supposed to be passed
from one side of the room to other. One
group of kids would try to yell or transfer the phrase "unicorns are
awesome", to the group of kids on the other side of the room, while the
remaining 35 kids in the middle would do everything they could to try
and stop that message from being delivered. What
ensued was loud yelling and big hand motions, and the large group of
kids was successful in preventing the phrase from reaching its
destination.
We had a great discussion afterwards about how it felt to play the
different roles in the game. We brought real life situations into the
discussion, and talked about how sometimes there is so much going on
that you might need to find other ways to effectively
and respectfully communicate.
We will keep rolling with a new core value next week!
Cheers
Ryan
