5 min

 

 

3) Mouse and cat game

5 min

 

One of the most appreciated games. Kids enjoyed it a lot. Only they got a bit annoyed with M who didn't want to stop running.

We had to set the rule in order to change the role of the mouse after max two minutes, linking to somebody. They also had to be the mouse (tikus) at least once.

 

4. Blind man game.

Kids were divided in couples. 1 child put a blindfold on the other; subsequently, he or she guided the partner through the room; furthermore, he or she let the blindfolded mate touch whatever he/she wanted. Then they exchanged roles.

 

The guides walked fast, they also didn't check if the blindfolded partner could manage to proceed. They were not very serious.

 

Question: what do you feel when you're blindfolded?

 

Ar: It's not a nice feeling not to be able to see
De: Can't see the world or other people
Iit reminds her of Rawinala (home for blind/multiple handicapped people)
F: not comfortable, can't see people
J: feels scared
TCan’t see the beautiful things
Sy: not used to walk in the dark
N: doesn't like it, feels too dependent on someone else

 

Question: what does it feel to be a guide?

 

R: likes it
De and T: Like to be a friend of blind people, like to help
J: likes to tease
R: reminds him of Rawinala; helped guide one of the blind kids

 

QuestionWhat do you like to touch?

 

Ar: confusing, doesn't know what he's touching
I: touched something she thought was a table, but when she felt hair, she realized it was Mara

 

5) Game: circle of spreading emotions

(Emotions are normally contagious)

 

1 - pass a smile

2 - pass an angry face

...

5 min

 

Sy was the last in the circle to repeat the emotion, but he wasn't able to do anything but smiling. Everybody looked at him. He looked very uncomfortable and he went outside.

 

6) Name as many emotions as you can

(See if their vocabulary has grown over these two months)

5 min

 

galau, murung, kesal, sedih, ragu ragu, gembira, malu, tergila-gila, marah, spesial, puas, dicinta, tersakiti, dipermalukan, patah hati, bingung, kehilangan, disalahkan, yakin, ditinggalkan, sengsara, dibebaskan, kaget, jijik, kecewa, sakit hati, lelah, lemas

 

Upset, depressed, upset, sad, hesitant, happy, shy, crazy, angry, specials, satisfied, be loved, hurt, humiliated, heartbroken, confused, lost, blame, sure, abandoned, miserable, released, shocked, disgusted, disappointed, hurt, tired, weak

 

Sara counted 34 different emotions.

The improvement since March is huge, not only because they are mentioning a bigger number of emotions but also because they are much more accurate as well as refined in the emotions they mention.
