Activity 2 (^^_)

TEACHER SAYS

Procedure:
1)Ask the students about their knowledge regarding the activity of “Simon says”.

2)Make improvements by changing its name with “Teacher says”.


3)The teacher explains the rules of the game where the children are to obey the command that begins with "Teacher says." If the command does not begin with “ “Teacher says” (for example, "Jump up and down"), the players should ignore it.

4)Any player who obeys a command not preceded by "Teacher says" is out. Speed up the game as the children get good at it. The last player left wins.
                      

To make it tricky:

1)Give the orders fast, in rapid succession.

2)Cut the orders short, saying, "Teacher says, do this," and make the motion you want mimicked, such as putting your hands on your shoulders.

3)Do this step several times with a different command each time.

4)Quickly say "Do this," and make the motion -- put your hands on your waist, for example. Many players will automatically follow your lead (and end up out of the game).

5)Relax and say something like "Straighten up the line," in a casual manner. Again, several players will comply (and they'll be out).

6)Single out specific players, especially older ones who are harder to fool. Say, "Chris, move back (or up) a step." She might fall for it.

7)Ask a question every now and then. Point and ask, "What's your name again?" If the person answers, he's out.

8)Keeps the pace moving fast. Everyone will be laughing so hard, they won't care who's in or out, or who wins or loses.



Rationale of this game:

1)The changes of the name of the game actually just want to teach students to listen to their teacher and to make teacher easy to control the class.
2)To test the student’s ability in obeying the instructions and to increase their listening skills.
3)To enjoy a good laugh with the child who obeys a right and wrong command



OK, happy trying dear Beloved Guests~!

Activity 1 (^^_)


Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh to our awesome and gorgeous Followers, Guests, and Readers from all around the world.

Alhamdulillah, today we will share one of the activities to all of you. <3 (^^_) <3
The activity is called CATCH a Finger!
Feel free to read dear friends….

Catch a finger!
Procedures:
1) Teacher asks the students to choose their pair with same genders.
2) Teacher asks the students to decide who is A and who is B.
3) Teacher asks student A to put his right point finger on the student B’s right palm.
4) Ask student B to do the same thing and their hand should cross each other.
5) The teacher will read to them a short passage or stories (short story A). Each time they heard the word “jump” they have to catch their pair’s finger.
6) If one of the pair succeeds catching his friend’s finger, they will get one point.
7) At the end of the activity, sum up all the point. The one who catches the most will be declared as the winner.


Short story A
Fred the frog.
Once upon a time, there is a frog name Fred who likes to jump around.
Where ever he goes, he will jump, and jump, and jump happily.
One fine day, Fred meets Shawn the toad.
When Shawn jumps, Fred will jump too.
Shawn says good bye and jumps away.
Fred replies good bye and jumps away too.
While Fred jumps to his home, he meets Georgie the cat.
Fred asks Georgie, to jump together.
Georgie says,“I am sorry, I can’t jump. My legs are hurt”.
Fred smiles and said “Get well soon Georgie, see you next time”.
Georgie replies,“Thank You Fred, happy jumping!”



This activity is suitable to be carried out in any levels of proficiency.
The rationales of the activity are;
1) Students have to focus on what they are listening to.

2) It trains the students to be aware to what they are listening to.

Why Sweet Rotan?

Nyum3
Assalamualaikum dearest knowledge lovers.

First impression when you read the blog's address, we bet that you might think about these;

1) Sweet Rotan?  Gula-Gula rotan ke? eh? makanan? (request to use Malay words)
2) Is there any relation between sweet and rotan and classroom management?
3) The admins probably having insufficient of ideas to find better name. (ouch, it hurts...heheh..)
4) All above and in addition anything you might think of which is not stated here.

Well, the three of us agreed that sweet rotan will be our trademark at the same time our blog's name.  During the old ages, our grandparents, our parents, and our teachers actually were very familiar with rotan a.k.a Cane.. Cane that used to punish the students if they doing something wrong and against the school rules. To speak the truth, even during our childhood, caning "session" still carried out and it taught us to be a responsible human.

Nowadays, not many teachers using cane to control the students behaviour. teacher nowadays must be more creative so they can dominate the class during the lesson and make sure the lesson run smoothly. So, sweet rotan stands for, the effective ways for teachers to manage the classroom and behaviour of students in or out of the classroom instead of using hard punishment. We really hope that our justification on choosing our blog's name satisfied our beloved awe-inspiring readers.

Syukran Jazilan (^^_)
