Funnier than I thought!!

Today, I really had great time with in Tanglin School in the first session of Research Education Service Learning. The ice-breaking session went on quite well. During the time when we went to the school, I was very anxious to see the students. However, I also felt very nervous. "What if the games are not interesting enough ?", "what if the students don't like us ?" those were the thoughts that came to my mind. It was funny that when we began the ice-breaking, I was quite shy whereas many students turned out to be very confident. In my opinion, the games organised in the session helped us a lot to know more about each individual student, both name and personal character. For example, in the shopping game, the players were required to memorise the names of the items respectively. We also joined the game. To me, it was quite a difficult game even for normal people, but the students did very well. Also, through the games such as "the statue" or "the rope game", we could identify not also the students who are confident and good but also those who are shy and slower than others. I was very impressed by Chee Keong, Nurul and Marcus: they showed great confidence and mental ability when playing the games. Beside this, students such as Aquillah or Faris would need more encouragement. Overall, I think the ice-breaking was a really good time for us to get a rough picture about the students so that we would have appropriate plans for future sessions.
