Mañás de semana santa (14/04/14 – 21/04/14)

Those days we organized the “mañás de semana santa” with the monitors  (Lara, Crisitna, María, Tamara, Suso, Angelillo, Toni, Alberto and me). We prepared a lot of activities for the children in order to play and learn. We had sportive activities, animation games (palmada, los ángeles, el pañuelito,…), songs (baby shark, cuando un pirata baila, …) and handcrafts too.

We did these handcrafts in order to prepare the LIP DUB: make posters, cut confetis, find costumes… Besides, we also realized a stop motion with plasticine with the older group of children. A Lip Dub is a video promoting a center or a company by presenting it in a fun way. Usually people are dancing and wearing costumes during the presentation. A stop motion is an animation technique where you shoot a lot of photos in a row to give the sensation of movement. Involve children in this type of project is really a pleasure for them. In this activity we developed the responsibility aspect and they learned to be patient in order to know that for building a project it requires time to make something of good quality.

Finally we were satisfied preparing the activities during those days. It was funny to see the kids preparing and discovering how to do the Lip Dub. When they watched the result of their work, they were surprised and so glad.
