Today at school, we did language activity called " HeadBand". Each student has their own headband and flash card. The student form into pairs and the cards should fit in the beadband so that the other student couldn’t see the picture. They have to guess the object on what’s in the card ( an animal, food, furniture, etc ) after hearing the clues from their partner. The partners alternate taking turn giving clues. The children can also ask questions. If the child guesses their noun, their partner can get them another card.
These activities support language and literacy in man y ways. The word on the flash card is reinforced and their vocabulary is extended by giving and responding to clues. The clue’s giver must use clear language when describing the object. Children had to increase their thinking power to give good clues.
As I was watching them, I observed one child who liked to give the clue instead of guessing the object and other children got frustrated when they were giving the clues and their partner had no idea what the object was. In this case, a child who got frustrated could ask help from another child to give more clues. When a child is giving clues, they often use total physical response and gesture to reinforce meaning.
My student got involved in these activities because they are fun and enjoyable. They interacted with other children and socialized with them and got motivated.
