"Learn while you Play" - Animal Adaptations 

- Open House at IVG

I had a great time being kid among kids at Oakridge IV-G open house held on July 24, 2012. The teacher started off with open fire round of questions on Adaptations of Animals. Kids were so excited to share their knowledge on the topic and their experiences. The topics included Herbivorous, Carnivorous, Extinct, Endangered, Insectivorous, Saprophytes, Parasites, Camouflage, hibernation and some others. I could see the confidence and knowledge kids had on the topic and being reflective on how to use the terminology as well. Once kids are familiar/understand the meaning of the above topics, they played Bingo with the above words. The teacher read the meaning of the word and they had to choose the correct word and play Bingo. Kids had lot of fun playing as they were rewarded with stickers for each Bingo row/column and Full Bingo. It was like "Learn while you Play" session.

I would like to thank Ms.Deepa for making class room an active and creative learning place where kids are inquirers and show initiative to learn new things.

 Overall the concept of Bingo entertained and educated kids thoroughly on the concept of Adaptations of Animals. I enjoyed it!
