It all started , when I was thinking how I could zest up my class . I was trying to come up with ways .... you know to add more fun in the classroom . Actually the word bank activity has been around for ages . It is just that as teachers, we are sometimes too caught up in our work to spend some time with this activity . It is not new to me and why have I not thought of it before ?
Anyway better late than never right ? So with all the semangat in me , I asked the kids to just write out a word each . it could be anything .. however I had my doubts if they could give me a word . So I did the next best thing . Today we learned about Nouns , I wrote everything down and then I just told them to pick and write the word that they like.
It was time , then , to have our lucky- draw -word- for the day . I called the smallest child in my class. He came up shook the container and he picked the lucky word . I decided to write down the word and to my surprise , they managed to identify the word and they had so much fun . Oh, and the picker gets to glue the word on a manila card .
Surprise , surprise .. well I now have a new best friend and I can't wait to do it again .... it really helps and that really gets the children to spell and say out the word .
Okay you might ask , what is so special about it ? Well , it's not but it sure means a lot to these kids ..
