BEST特别活动： SK Taman Midah 2 (第二天）

今天是第二天在这里举行活动。活动也是10点开始，我们大概9点半到达SK Taman Midah 2。今天我们也带了自己中心的孩子去看看也让他们帮忙。开始Mr. Yu Chiet就在台上与孩子们打招呼，向他们问好。他们都很有精神的回答。过后，我们就先介绍自己的孩子和其他几位实习生。然后Mrs. Phoebe就开始介绍健脑操的准备学习四式（PACE）。喝水，脑开关，交叉爬行，挂钩的功能与用处。我们让我们中心的孩子在台上示范正确的动作然后Mrs. Phoebe再介绍动作的功能。比如喝水是让孩子们准备好启动电系统的脑开关中获益。

我们中心的实习生和孩子正在示范准备学习四式的动作   

 

做完了准备学习四式（PACE）动作后，就开始将孩子们分组。Ms. Chris就吩咐中心的孩子和实习生就开始示范比赛的规则和玩的方法是什么，示范错误的玩法在告诉孩子们如何才是对的玩法。谁先完成谁就是赢家。再来就分配实习生和我们中心的孩子两人一起带领一个组。总共有五组。我们准备了三个游戏让他们玩。第一个游戏是穿过呼啦圈。手握手再为一个圈，把呼啦圈从第一个人传到最后一个人，那一组先完成谁就是赢家。第二个游戏是用呼啦圈拉球在转一个圈回来把呼啦圈和球以拍手交给下一个人。第三个游戏是传球。把球用双手往后传。大家都很享受玩游戏的过程。虽然有一点难控制但是还是完成了我们要做的事情。

实习生示范比赛的规则和玩的方法

 

竞技比赛后，就是折气球时间。Ivy 和Swee Yao（实习生）负责教孩子们折气球和然后伴随着故事。让孩子可以有想象的画面。分给孩子们一人一个气球再教他们折成形状，例如剑或狗狗的形状。而我们就从旁协助和指导孩子们。孩子们都玩的不亦乐乎。有些孩子捏太大力把气球捏破了。每个孩子都有自己想要折的形状，有的想折猫，有的想折鳄鱼还有很多。但是我们会折的形状有限，只能教两三种折法。教完了，折完了过后就吩咐孩子们坐回原位。有些孩子会到处跑但是还是把他们叫回来了。过后来个总结，问他们的感想，孩子们都回答好玩。过后再叫他们把地上的垃圾捡起来丢进垃圾桶里。然后那边的负责老老师就负责把他们集合。我们的任务就完成了

与其同时，Mrs. Phoebe 也正在给家长和老师们韵律性动作(RMT)，健脑操和积木堆叠式运动的演讲。告诉他们这些运动的用处和功能。然后再示范给老师和家长们如何正确的使用者几项运动。也让老师和家长们亲身示范，自己去体验这些运动的过程。让他们可以使用这些方法在他们自己的学生或孩子身上。通过韵律性动作(RMT)，健脑操和积木堆叠式运动帮助他们的孩子，让孩子在学校和家里都可以做这些运动。这样才可以达到最好的效果。

今天的过程真的很充实但也需要大量的能量去管理。我们也学到很多。事前准备是很重要的，虽然我们已经做好万全准备可是还是有些不足的地方。毕竟世上没有十全十美的事，从错误中学习才是真正的学习。他们学习我们所教的东西，同时我们也从他们的身上学习。
