Wow! We had our most challenging Club meeting yet! Only eleven members this time, but the age range was six to fourteen! We tried several different activities including UNO, tongue twisters, a rhythm/skipping game, coloring and writing, among others, but the reaction was very mixed! It seems that there is simply too much disparity in the age groups to accommodate everyone at once. The younger children love singing and jumping, but the older children feel very awkward and shy, and are quite reluctant to participate in general silliness. Consequently, the reluctance of the older members spread to the younger children, and they also became shy and reluctant to participate.
Still, we managed to do quite a lot, and everyone enjoyed snack time and games, as usual.
For the next Brighton Kids English Club (VIII), we will separate the members by age: 6-10 and 11-14, and prepare activities specifically tailored for each group.
We're all looking forward to it!
