This activity involved supervising a toy distribution programme in the primary section of my school. I don't know if its the case with everyone but I always find it scary working close to little kids. You never know if they are going to kick you or jump on you at the same time. I guess this what happens when you watch too many movies. This activity was carried out for one month and I supervised the distribution once a week on thursday. Basically my role was to aid the student council during the process and maintain order sometimes because the kids were always very excited to get the toys and most times were always trying to fight to go first because the first one always had the most choice and the best toys. This activity was interesting, it showed me that kids are not the "little monsters" that they are sometimes portrayed on TV and helped me improve my patience and somehow my leadership skills because it was important for the kids to pay attention.
These are the learning outcomes I achieved:
- Undertake new challenges. It might not be scary to work with little kids but for me it was. It is always hard to make kids listen to you and you have to find different ways to use in order to make the little kids listen to you. This was a first for me working with kids that young.
- Consider the ethical implications of your activities. Working with little kids that age means that you have to act as a role model and use the appropriate language at all times when the kids are close by because the little kids tend to imitate older people.
