Kids seem to have fun to to the game.

Some observations 1st group:

The children were very excited to see us and to start the activities.

Kids who joined previous sessions:

A., M. and A. kept asking for attention.

M. was very vocal and kept making comments.

A. kept hugging.

A. was active and chatty (compared to last year, when he was lying down during the sessions, didn't want to speak or just disappeared altogether). Surprisingly he came up to Nancy for a hug, something he had never done before.

A. was a bit quiet. Not as chatty as she was last year. I wonder if that is because F. is not in the group anymore?

*Ibu Uut: 

Kids don't know how to show appreciation to their friends. Example: During board game kids were asked to show appreciation to P. and R. and they started 'boo-ing'.

Teach kids consequence good-bad behaviour: any kind of behaviour will trigger a reaction from others.

Perhaps use some of the sessions to focus on these things

2nd group: 11 kids

Joined previous sessions

We had a short session for this group. Introduction game and sing Musica Musica while moving around in a circle.
