2) Important to tweak to children's interests and strengths.
3) Conscious effort have to put in to realise it.]]> 2023-06-01 06:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611443608 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611447808 The teachers played the Simon Says Game and the game enhanced listening skills and it reinforces that the game is effective. It allows children to focus and recenter them back to the lesson. The game is engaging and fun. The children enjoys.
The game can be played anywhere, outside of the classroom.]]> 2023-06-01 06:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611447808 siti_hajjar_manshor1_1 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611448244

We used to think that EF is only about being able to organise learning resources but now we think it is more than that.

We also did not realise that actually simple games such as Simon Say and Freeze Dance with a little tweaking can engage a lot in helping the children in developing their EF.]]> 2023-06-01 06:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611448244 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611449242 1) During transitions (eg. orientation week, every morning before 1st period etc)
2) Can be taught to high needs students (eg. SEN) 
3) During lesson breaks (eg. brain breaks, when you observe that pupils' attention are dwindling)
4) Need to base on their interests to tweak the games to keep them interested and motivated.
5) Teachers need to show enthusiasm during the games too! :) 
6) Teachers need to try out first then adjust game levels etc accordingly.]]> 2023-06-01 06:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611449242 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611450302 During routines and transitions. 
Start of their lessons.
Incorporate the games into lesson, e.g. board games.
Motor skills activities, e.g. jumping.]]> 2023-06-01 06:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611450302 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611451686 We have been practising without realising. That a simple game like Simon Says can do so much for the children.]]> 2023-06-01 06:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611451686 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611452190 1) Executive Function skills are important for children to show self-regulation.
2) Consistency is important in supporting the development of EF skills. (Intentional effort and consistency is important)
3) EF skills are also needed and exhibited during a writing activity.
4) EF applies to children and not only adults.]]> 2023-06-01 06:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611452190 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611453964 Engage simple games during routines and transitions or get them to stay quiet before lesson commences.
Get children involved in the planning process such as creating actions for dance and freeze game.]]> 2023-06-01 06:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611453964 siti_hajjar_manshor1_1 https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611454592 Current school practice - Having a countdown timer (analog) to have the children to visualise how much time left they have in every classroom.

Current (another) school practice - Providing time for the children to play board game for about 10 minutes. 

Plan - To use gonoodle and Movement Exercises from YouTube as an alternative game aside from Simon Say and Freeze Dance. ]]> 2023-06-01 06:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/saleha_ahmadi_mirza_quayam_ali/1ti063rgszn271or/wish/2611454592
