Concerns:

1. Some people might have allergy to the ingredients in the dye, hence natural dye will be needed but it is more expensive.

2. It might be a mess if we let the elementary kids to try it because it is not easy to handle and it will leave stains on clothes, however it is okay to let the secondary school kids to try it.

The player standing in the middle of the circle is the “splatter”.

• The splatter randomly points to someone and shouts his/her name.

• The player pointed to must duck down; then the two players on either side of the “ducker” must “splat” each other by pointing to the other and saying each other's name.

• The last one to splat sits down, and the player ducking stands back up.

• The game continues until there are two players left, have them Rock Paper Scissors to determine who will be the new splatter in the middle.

Step 1: First of all, one person will start the game by making a random movement. 

Step 2: The second person will copy the same movement that the last person did but they will add their own movement after that. Then the third person will copy all the movements and add their own movement after that, and the players keep building up the sequence.

The game can get much more challenging and fun. The variety of random movements that everyone adds can be really silly and funny. 

Step 3: Every player that fails to remember gets kicked out and the last person standing wins.

Stand Up Sit down

Best for: Engaging the whole class in a quick and inclusive math activity.

Play Stand Up, Sit Down as a minds-on activity, adjusting the difficulty according to student age and skill level. The principle of the game is straightforward: You pick a number, and students must stand if the answer to an equation you read aloud matches that number. If it isn’t, they remain seated in a circle. You can modify requirements for standing as needed.

For example, you can tell students to stand if the answer is:

• Greater than 10

• An even number

• A multiple of three

You can also alternate from addition to subtraction, and from multiplication to division.

Name: colour changing flower

1. Can put flower inside colour stalk then can explain the transportation of water causes the petals of the plants to change its colour

2. increase difficulty by (pre) cutting the stem to show the xylem vessels in the flowers

Objective: The goal of the game is for each participant to find their designated partner within the group.

Setup:

1. Prepare in advance by creating pairs of related items, pictures, or words. For example, you can have pairs like peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, Batman and Robin, etc. Write each item of the pair on separate pieces of paper or cards.

2. Distribute the cards randomly to participants as they enter the room. Make sure each person gets one card without revealing the content.

Gameplay:

1. Once everyone has a card, explain the rules. Let participants know that they need to find the person holding the card with the matching item, picture, or word.

2. Encourage participants to mingle and interact with each other. They can ask simple questions related to their card without directly revealing what's on it. For example, if someone has a card with "peanut butter," they might ask, "Are you a fan of sandwiches?"

3. As participants find their partners, they should stand together to confirm the match.

Variations:

• Time Limit: Set a time limit to add a sense of urgency and keep the game moving.

• No Talking Rule: Implement a rule where participants can't directly talk about what's on their cards. This encourages creative communication.

• Theme: Tailor the pairs to fit a specific theme, such as movies, books, or historical figures.

1. Gather a group of participants

   • Ask everyone to stand in a circle, facing each other.

   • Instruct each participant to extend their right hand and grab the right hand of someone across the circle (but not standing directly next to them).

   • Then, have them extend their left hand and grab the left hand of a different person across the circle.

   • The group will now be in a "human knot" with intertwined hands.

   • The challenge is for the participants to work together to untangle themselves without letting go of each other's hands.

     RULES!!

   • Participants cannot let go of each other's hands during the process.

   • They cannot crawl through the arms or legs of others; they can only navigate over or under them.

     point of game: Encourage participants to communicate, strategize, and coordinate movements to unravel the knot.

   • Verbal communication is key in helping the group figure out the most effective way to untangle themselves.

scaling: blindfold participants, silent untangling, time constraint, introduce obstacles, changing layouts, complex knots

• participants will be spread out across the room and each person can take only 3 steps and try to step on the opponents leg.

• the remaining person surviving wins!

scaling:

• play it as a group, everyone has to come to an agreement of which way to go to and they cannot separate

• play with participants holding something

• only playing with one leg

All stand in a circle, one person is nominated as “splatter” and stands in the middle. The person in the middle then randomly points at someone and shouts “Splat!”

• 
  The person they pointed at must duck, then the two people either side of the one who ducked must “splat” each other, by pointing the other and yelling, “Splat!”
  
  

• 
  The last one to do so is out, this continues until there are only 2 active people left in the circle. When you are out, you stay in the circle, but do not play. This is part of the challenge for the remaining players.
  
  

• 
  It gets harder with less numbers as it becomes harder to determine who is next to you as the numbers deplete but the circle size remains.
  
  

• 
  Once you are down to 2 people remaining active in the circle they stand back to back western style, then the person who was in the middle counts from 1 – 20. With each number the 2 remaining competitors must take a step away from one another, and at any random point between 1 & 20 the counter shouts splat instead of a number, at which point it’s a quick draw on each other and the last one to point at their opponent and say splat is out leaving a winner.
  
  

scaling: 

• 
  get into pairs then into a circle, the pair facing each other and the rest back to back. the person facing back to back to the rest will have to trust their pair to say left or right and say shoot (encourages communication and trust) 
  
  

• 
  playing splat with names 
  
  

• 
  name and back facing each other so that participants would try to memorise the sequence while the splatter splats by saying the participant's name
  
  

1. The players stand in a circle, and the "Wind" stands in the center.

2. The Wind starts the game by saying, "Blow wind blow," and begins blowing at the players in the circle.

3. The players must react quickly and move away from their spot to avoid being caught by the wind.

4. The Wind can only blow in one direction at a time.

5. While saying, "Blow wind blow," the Wind can pause and change direction at any moment, catching players off guard.

6. If a player is caught in the wind or doesn't move quickly enough, they are out of the game.

7. The game continues until there is only one player left, who becomes the Wind for the next round.

scaling:

• Blindfolded Wind: To add an extra challenge, you can blindfold the Wind, making it more difficult for them to aim the "blow."

• Changing Speeds: The Wind can change the speed of their blowing to add unpredictability.

• Multiple Winds: Introduce multiple Winds in the center, each blowing in a different direction. Players then have to navigate through the winds.

1. Participants stand in a circle or in a line, facing each other.

2. get an object (cup, pen, ball, etc)

3. the game begins when the facilitator or a designated person gives a signal (e.g., saying "Go" or blowing a whistle).

4. Participants must react quickly to the signal and attempt to grab the designated object before others do.

5. The person who successfully grabs the object first is the winner of that round. After each round, reset the object to its starting position.

scaling:

• Multiple Objects: Introduce multiple objects and assign different point values to each. Participants can choose which object to go for based on its point value.

• Obstacle Course: Set up a simple obstacle course, and participants must navigate through it before grabbing the object.

• Blindfolded Round: For added challenge, have a round where participants are blindfolded. They must rely on their sense of touch and memory of the space. OR they could depend on their teammates (play in groups) to give then direction

Objective:

Students will explore the concept of density through a hands-on experiment with balloons and different liquid solutions.

Materials Needed:

1. Balloons

2. Water

3. Salt

4. Dish soap

5. Containers

6. Measuring spoons

Introduction:

• Begin with a brief discussion on density, asking students if they know what it means.

• Share a simple explanation: density is how much mass is packed into a given volume.

• Ask if students can provide examples of objects that might float or sink in water.

• Briefly discuss why some objects float while others sink.

Steps:

1. Distribute balloons, containers, water, salt, and dish soap to each group.

2. Instruct students to inflate balloons to a similar size.

3. Guide them to fill containers with water, saltwater, and soapy water.

4. Have students submerge balloons in each solution and record observations.

5. Encourage them to discuss why balloons behave differently in each solution.

Discussion:

1. Bring the class together to share their findings.

2. Discuss which balloons floated and which sank in each solution.

3. Emphasize that the density of water changes when substances like salt or soap are added.

Teach them the importance of washing their hands

Equipment:

• Pepper

• Soap

• Plate/Bowl

• Water

• Q-Tip (optional)

Instructions:
1. Fill the bowl or plate with water(until it

reaches about 1 inch).

2. Sprinkle pepper evenly across the surface of the water.

3. Stick your finger(without any soap)in the water.

4. Stick your finger in a small amount of dish soap (you can also use a Q-tip or toothpick).

5. Predict what will happen once you stick your soapy finger into the water.

6. Stick your soapy finger into the water.

The Science Behind It:
The pepper floats on the water because it is less dense or lighter than the water. Remember the pepper is representing our germs in this experiment. Without any soap on your finger the germs (or pepper) don’t move at all. However, germs do not like soap. The soap is able to surround the germs and take them off of your hands and wash them right down the drain! This is why the pepper ran away from the soap on your finger.

Supplies

• Cardboard

• Tissue Paper

• Cardboard

• Pencil

• Scissors

• Googly Eyes (optional)

• Water Balloon/Normal Balloon

• Glue Stick

Directions:

1. Start by cutting a square of cardboard.

2. Use your pencil to draw butterfly wings on your tissue paper. Make sure to make them smaller than my square. Cut them out and set them onto your cardboard. DO NOT glue them onto the cardboard!

3. Cut a butterfly body out of your cardstock paper and glue it down the middle of your butterfly and overlapping it onto your cardboard. Again, DO NOT glue the tissue paper wings down. You will want the wings loose like shown in my picture below.

4. Blow up your balloon.

5. 5. Rub your balloon in your hair to give it an electric charge. Now hold the balloon on top of your butterfly, close but not touching it, and watch the wings raise and lower as you move the balloon closer and farther away.

The Science Behind It:

When we rubbed the balloon onto our hair, electrons were lost from our hair and gained by the balloon giving it a static charge. When the negatively charged balloon gets close to the positively charged tissue paper they are attracted to each other, and the pull of attraction is so great that the lightweight tissue paper moves toward the balloon.

Importance of Oxygen

Materials: 

• A plate with a raised rim or a shallow bowl

• Water

• Candle

• Lighter or matches

• Drinking glass

• Playdough (Optional)

Instructions: 

1. Place the candle in the middle of the plate or bowl.

2. Optional: If your candle can’t stand by itself, use some playdough to help it stand upright.

3. Pour the colored water into the plate (to about 1 cm in depth).

4. Light the candle with a lighter or match.

5. Turn the glass upside down and place it over the candle.

6. Watch what happens to the water when the fire is still burning, and what happens when the fire extinguishes.

The Science Behind It:

The candle went out without us blowing on it because it ran out of oxygen. The flame used up oxygen as it burned, and since the candle was trapped inside a glass, it quickly used up the available oxygen. Without oxygen inside the glass, the candle could not keep burning.

When the candle was still burning, the flame heated up the air inside the glass. The hot air expanded quickly and created higher air pressure inside the glass than outside the glass.

To restore equilibrium, some of the high-pressure air inside escaped from under the glass. You may have seen tiny bubbles escaping from underneath the glass.When the flame extinguished, the air inside the glass cooled down. Cooling air contracted, which in turn lowered the air pressure inside the glass. 

Just as before when air rushed out from the glass to balance the air pressure between the inside and outside of the glass, now air wants to get in. As a result, the high-pressure air outside the glass pushes on the water, forcing the water into the glass. 

Visually, we can see the water level rising until the air pressure inside the glass is the same as the air pressure outside the glass.

The objective of the game is to send a message from the first person all the way to the last person in a group, without distorting or changing the message in any way. This is also to teach children to listen carefully and communicate clearly.

How the game works?

It begins with a group of people sitting in a circle. One person whispers something to the person next person. That person then attempts to repeat what they heard (or thought they heard) to the next person. This continues from one person to the next until the end, when the last person tells the group what they heard.

Logisitics:

Ball

10 Plastic bottles

Level 1(easy addition) - the kids bowl through plastic bottles (bowling pins) labeled from 1 - 10. whatever pins get knocked down they have to add together.

Level 2(medium subraction) - the same thing they bowl through the 'bowling pins'. then subtracting the numbers starting from the biggest number. e.g. - they hit down pins 10, 6, 4, 2, and 1. They'll do 10-6-4-2-1 = -3 then can also teach them about negative numbers.

Level 3(hard mulitplication) - the same thing they bowl through the 'bowling pins'. Then Multiply the numbers together. e.g. - they hit down pins 10, 6, 4, 2, and 1. They'll do 10x6x4x2x1 = 480

group b

Split the students into two groups. One group of students will need to grow their seeds in the light. Another group will need to grow their seeds in the dark

Level 1: Teach them about words when it comes to germination

Level 2: Teach them how those words affect their respective experiments

Level 1: Teach the students the words (for example: seed, grow, light, dark, cotton wool etc)

Level 2: Teach the students what the different conditions required for their seeds to grow are. (e.g light=grow, dark= no grow)

• Balloon

• Vinegar

• Baking soda

Activity-

Fill a 500ml empty plastic water bottle with vinegar about 1/3 of the way

Put baking soda into the balloon

Wrap the balloon entrance around the nozzle of the vinegar filled bottle

Lift the balloon up and let the baking soda fall

Watch as the mixture fizzles, bubbles and inflates the balloon

group b

Logistics: Markers and papers printed with images

• Teach them about the circle of life and nature by using butterfly as an example

• For example, first stage: eggs, second stage: caterpillar (lava), third stage: chrysalis (pupa) and the forth stage: butterfly.

• Downscale-make the students arrange the images in the correct stages of the life cycle

• Upscale- make the students arrange and name the images in the correct stages of the life cycle.

Add one drop of food colouring on tissue paper, lower the tissue paper until the reading line. The water and food colouring will spread upwards the tissue.

Level 1: Teach the students the different colours that have been shown on the tissue paper as well as the materials that were used (pencil, tissue paper, food colouring)

Level 3: Teach the students the meaning of spread and why the food colouring separates and spreads across the tissue paper. (different colours in the food colouring therefore the colour have been separated)

Logistics

• Dish Soap

• Paint

• Cups

• Straws

• Paper

Mix half a cup of water with a generous squirt of dish soap and paint

Let the kids go crazy blowing mountains of bubbles

Lay your sheet of paper over the top of the bubbles to create the imprint. Repeat over and over again with different colored bubbles

Logistics: Empty cans, cold water and heater

• Heat up the empty can and when we filled the heated can with cold water, the can will implodes.

• The cold water will cool any remaining gas molecules, decreasing their kinetic energy and therefore decreases the number of collisions with the walls of the can. This decreases the pressure inside the can. Since the air pressure outside the can is stronger than that inside the can, it causes the can to collapse.

eg bread/potato and water

Level 1: Show the different reactions of the experiments (bread/potato turns iodine from yellowish-brown to bluish black)

Level 2: Ask students to guess which food item contains starch and teach them the differences in both food items when a drop of iodine is added.

Logistics: Red and blue cups, hot and cold water, card

1. Red cup will be filled with hot water and blue cup will be filled with cold water

2. Place the blue cup on the table and place a card on the red cup

3. Turn the red cup upside down with the card below to prevent any water spillage and place it on the blue cup

4. When the card is pull out, the hot water and cold water will not mix together because hot water rise and cold water sink.

Level 2: teach them about the science behind it

Level 1: Split the students into groups. give one group more mentos then the other.

Level 2: Explain the science behind it.

Fizz in Soda: soda has bubbles that make it fizzy. there's gas (CO2) dissolved in the soda.

Mentos Magic: When you drop them into soda, their bumpy surface helps make a lot of bubbles very quickly.

Bubble Explosion: The Mentos make so many bubbles so fast that it's like a soda explosion. The bubbles shoot up and out of the bottle, creating a big, fizzy fountain.

More Mentos=more bubbles=bigger "fountains"

Students will be able to experience and play some of our favourite childhood games.

Rules:

-One player begins by holding up all the sticks in his hand and drops them on a flat surface.

-The sticks must scatter naturally on the surface without any intervention.

-A player then picks up the sticks one by one without moving any of the other sticks scattered on the floor.

-If another stick gets moved, the player’s turn ends and the next player starts his turn. 

-Players keep taking turns until all sticks have been picked up.

- For longer plays, all the sticks can be collected and dropped once again to continue accumulating points. 

The scores are as follows:

• Black - 25 points

• Red - 10 points

• Blue - 5 points

• Green - 2 points

• Yellow - 1 point

-There is only one black stick, also known as the “master stick” in the pile. The player that is able to draw the master stick will be able to move sticks around, separate sticks lying closely together and assisting those which are difficult to pick up.

1. Potato sacks or burlap sacks (one for each participant or team)

2. Open space or a designated relay race area

3. Cones or markers to set up the course

4. Stopwatch or timer

5. Whistle or another signaling device

Game 1: Police and Thief

Playing "Police and Thief" is a classic and energetic outdoor/indoor game that is often enjoyed by children. It involves a simple chase and tag concept, with one group playing the role of the "thieves" and the other group taking on the role of the "police."

• Choose an open and safe outdoor space for the game. If necessary, set boundaries using cones or markers to define the playing area.

1. Divide Participants:

   • Divide the players into two groups: police and thieves. You can have a 1:1 ratio or adjust based on the number of participants.

2. Explain the Roles:

   • Briefly explain the roles to the participants:

     • Thieves: The goal is to avoid being tagged by the police while moving within the playing area.

     • Police: The goal is to tag (arrest) the thieves to prevent them from moving freely.

3. Start the Game:

   • Use a whistle or another signaling device to start the game. Thieves start moving around the playing area, while police officers attempt to tag them.

4. Tagging and Arrest:

   • When a police officer tags a thief, that thief is "arrested" and must stand in a designated area, such as a jail zone.

5. Release from Jail:

   • Thieves who are in jail can be released if another thief touches them, freeing them to continue playing.

6. Rotate Roles:

   • After a set amount of time or when all thieves are caught, you can rotate the roles. Thieves become the police, and vice versa.

7. End of the Game:

   • Decide on a predetermined endpoint or time limit for the game. The game can end when all thieves are caught, or you can set a specific duration for each round.

8. Declare Winners:

   • If playing multiple rounds, tally the number of arrests for each team. The team with the fewest arrests or the most successful escapes can be declared the winner.

Game 2: Ice and Freeze

1. Choose a Playing Area:

   • Select an open space where players can move freely without obstacles. It could be a playground, gymnasium, or any designated area.

2. Select Teams:

   • Divide players into two teams. You can have multiple teams or make it a free-for-all, depending on the number of participants.

3. Explain the Rules:

   • Inform participants that the game involves tagging opponents to freeze them. Once tagged, a player must freeze in place and cannot move until unfrozen by a teammate.

4. Designate a Freeze Zone:

   • Set a designated area, often called the "freeze zone" or "base." When players are within this zone, they are safe and cannot be tagged.

5. Start the Game:

   • Choose one team to be "it." Members of this team are the taggers and must try to tag players from the other team(s).

6. Freezing and Unfreezing:

   • When a player is tagged by a member of the opposing team, they must freeze in place. They can be unfrozen if a teammate tags them.

7. Rotate Roles:

   • After a set time or when most players have been frozen, switch roles. The team that was previously "it" becomes the frozen team, and the other team now takes on the role of the taggers.

8. End of the Game:

   • Decide on a winning condition, such as the team with the fewest frozen players or the team that freezes all opponents first.

Game 3:Virus

1. Designate Playing Area:

   • Choose an open outdoor space where players can move freely. If necessary, set boundaries using cones or markers.

2. Select a "Virus" (Tagger):

   • One player is designated as the "virus" (the tagger) at the beginning of the game.

3. Start the Game:

   • When the game begins, the virus tries to tag other players by touching them.

4. Infected Players:

   • Once a player is tagged by the virus, they become "infected" and must join the virus in tagging others.

5. Cure Zones:

   • Designate specific areas within the playing area as "cure zones" where infected players can go to be cured and return to the uninfected status. These areas are safe from the virus.

6. Strategy and Movement:

   • Uninfected players must strategize to avoid the virus by running, dodging, and using the cure zones strategically.

7. End of the Game:

   • The game continues until all players are infected, or you can set a time limit. If playing multiple rounds, rotate the role of the virus.

Captain Ball is a team sport that shares similarities with other ball games like volleyball and basketball. It's often played in schools and recreational settings, promoting teamwork, communication, and physical activity. The game has different variations, and rules can vary, but here's a basic guide to how Captain Ball is typically played:

Objective: The main objective of Captain Ball is to score points by throwing the ball into the opposing team's goal area while defending your own goal.

Materials Needed:

1. Volleyball or a similar ball

2. Playing area with marked goals

3. Team jerseys or markers to distinguish teams

4. Referee (optional)

Setup:

1. Court Setup:

   • Divide the playing area into two halves with a net or a line in the middle. Each half is a team's territory.

   • Mark goals on opposite ends of the playing area. The goals can be marked by cones or lines on the ground.

2. Team Formation:

   • Each team typically consists of six players.

   • Players are assigned positions such as forward, center, and defender.

Gameplay:

1. Starting Play:

   • The game begins with a toss or a serve from one team to the other.

   • The team in possession of the ball tries to advance toward the opponent's goal area.

2. Passing and Movement:

   • Players can pass the ball among themselves using any part of their bodies except their feet.

   • Players move strategically to get into a better position to score or defend.

3. Scoring:

   • Points are scored by successfully throwing the ball into the opponent's goal area. The ball must pass over the goal line.

4. Defending:

   • Defenders try to block or intercept the ball to prevent the opposing team from scoring.

5. Turnovers:

   • Possession of the ball can change due to a variety of factors, such as a ball going out of bounds or a violation of the rules.

6. Winning:

   • The team with the most points at the end of a specified time or until a certain point limit is reached is declared the winner.

Rules:

• Different variations of Captain Ball may have additional rules regarding player movements, ball handling, and contact.

• Common rules include no holding or carrying the ball and no double-touching during a serve.

Objective: The main objective of dodgeball is to eliminate players from the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls.

Materials Needed:

1. Soft rubber or foam dodgeballs (avoid hard rubber balls to minimize the risk of injury)

2. Markers or cones to define the playing area

Setup:

1. Playing Area:

   • Designate a rectangular playing area with clear boundaries. The size of the playing area can vary based on the number of participants.

2. Teams:

   • Divide players into two teams. Teams can have an equal number of players or be adjusted based on the total number of participants.

3. Starting Line:

   • Each team lines up along the back boundary of their side of the playing area.

Gameplay:

1. Start of the Game:

   • A referee or designated person starts the game by releasing all the dodgeballs from the centerline.

2. Retrieving Balls:

   • Players can run to the centerline to retrieve balls at the beginning of the game. After the initial rush, players can only retrieve balls from their team's side.

3. Throwing and Dodging:

   • Players throw dodgeballs at the opposing team to eliminate their players.

   • If a player is hit by a thrown ball and the ball makes contact with their body or clothing, they are out and must leave the playing area.

4. Catching:

   • If a player catches a thrown ball before it hits the ground, the player who threw the ball is eliminated, and a player from the catching team can re-enter the game.

5. Headshots:

   • In many variations, headshots are not allowed. If a player is hit in the head, they are not eliminated, and the ball is considered dead.

6. Teamwork:

   • Players strategize and work together to eliminate opponents while avoiding being hit.

7. Game End:

   • The game can end when all players from one team are eliminated, or after a set time limit. The team with the last remaining players wins.

Equipment:

• 50 2 sided coloured cards

There will be 2 teams (around 10 people each), Team Red and Team Blue. The set up would be 25 red facing up cards and 25 blue facing up cards. Once the timer starts, both teams need to race and flip the cards to their side colour. At the end of the time, the team with the most coloured cards up, win.

Equipment:

• Water bottle/Something small

Divide into two teams of equal numbers. Place the water bottle in the middle of the room, teams can either sit in a big/wide circle around this or in two lines down the edges of a playing area. Either way make sure there is plenty of space between players and the water bottle.

Give the players in each team a number so that they are partnered off with a player of the same number on the opposite team. When team members hear their number called the objective is to rush to grab the bottle and get it back to their space (or goal if preferred) before being tagged/touched by the player with the same number from the opposing team. If players are tagged they must immediately drop the object and the opposing player then must then try to get it back to their line without being tagged in return. Players must have the bottle in their hand to win.

• Carnival

It is a simple card game that we can teach them how to play as it is one of the games we played as a child in Singapore. The game starts by shuffling the cards and distribute an even number of cards to each player. Each players then flip open their cards and place them in the middle, in sequence. The first person to shout “Snap!” when there is a matching pair of cards wins the pool of cards. The game continues until players run out of cards.

• Carnival

It is an old school game that will be easy to pick up. First, you need to start by making the zero point chain by using as many rubber bands as possible. You can make the chain by making more loops ensuring that it is about a metre-long. The aim of the game is to cross the rubber band chain by jumping across. Players who successfully make it across move on to the next level, while those who do not will lose their turn. It is similar to limbo, with the modification of having to go under, rather than over. This will allow the students to experience the game Singaporean children played back in the days.

Material needed:

1. A lot of rubber bands at least 50

Logistics: Felt, Glue, Paper & Scissors

Students can hands make their own ketupat using felt. For downscale, felt will be easier for them. Paper will be upscale because to make the ketupat, we will have to keep folding the paper and eventually it will become harder to fold as it gets bigger and longer. We can use this chance to teach them the purpose and the meaning of ketupat

Logistics: Colour pencil, paper template, string

We can print the outlines of the Wau Bulan on the papers and let the students colour on it. They can fly the kite at the field after finishing their kite design. We can also let them compete for the best designed Wau Bulan and get prizes. Teach them the word "kite" and how its able to fly in the sky

Each team has five players, and the game consists of multiple innings

The batter hits the pitched ball with their hands (no bat) and runs to a base. There are no bases on the field; instead, players run to a designated spot.

  Students can learn how to make a Chinese Dragon puppet using paper plates. This allows them to learn a little bit about the Chinese Zodiacs and coincidently, 2024 is the year of Dragon!!

  This is a good way to have them focus on their fine motor skills by having to cut in a relatively even spiral down to the center of the plate to create the dragon body. The kids can then bring the dragon puppet home.

Logistics:

1. Paper plates

2. Paint

3. Paintbrush

4. Paper dragon templates

5. Scissors

6. Color pencils

7. String

8. Glue sticks

9. stapler

Paint the paper plate. a.k.a the dragon body

Let it dry and paint the other side

In the meantime, we can start coloring the Paper plate dragon template.

Cut out the head and tail template

Making sure to NOT cut the template in half

Once the paper plate is dry. Get the scissors and cute a spiral into the Paper Plate to make the Dragon Whirligig. It should look a bit like a snail.

NOTE: the thicker your snail twirls the more compact your Dragon tree will be.. the thinner.. the more “elongated” it will be. It is a style preference!

Take a piece of string and tie a knot one end. Then staple it into place.

Next you glue your dragon’s paper tail to the top of your dragon– make the string stick between the two dragon tail halves.

Now “assemble” your head. You will need to glue the bottom of your dragon face together.

Now glue the paper dragon’s head to the bottom of your whirligig

Finally add your legs

Basic Overview:

Cricket is played between two teams, each consisting of 11 players. The game involves two phases: batting and bowling/fielding.

Batting:

1. Equipment: All you need is a bat and a ball. A tennis ball or a soft cricket ball is suitable for beginners.

2. Wickets: Designate a target area as the wickets. This could be a wall, a tree, or any other vertical structure.

3. Batsman: One player from the batting team stands in front of the wickets with the bat.

Batting Rules:

1. Runs: The batsman scores runs by hitting the ball and running to the opposite end of the playing area.

2. Boundaries: Define the boundaries of the playing area. If the ball crosses these boundaries on the full, it's usually considered a four or a six, depending on the agreed rules.

3. Getting Out: The batsman can be declared out if the ball hits the wickets, caught by a fielder, or if the fielding team successfully appeals for a dismissal.

4. Overs: In a simplified version, you can decide on the number of balls (or deliveries) bowled per over. A common choice is six balls per over.

Bowling/Fielding:

1. Bowling: The bowling team takes turns to bowl the ball at the batsman from a predetermined distance.

2. Fielders: The rest of the players in the fielding team are positioned around the playing area to stop the ball and dismiss the batsman.

Bowling/Fielding Rules:

1. Bowling Style: For beginners, players can use an underarm or gentle overarm bowling style.

2. Fielding: Fielders try to stop the ball and return it to the wickets or to a teammate.

3. Run-Outs: A batsman can be declared out if a fielder successfully hits the wickets with the ball while the batsman is running between the wickets.

Rotating Batsmen:

1. Wickets: If a batsman is out, another player from the batting team takes their place.

2. Rotation: Batsmen rotate after each dismissal until all players have had a chance to bat.

Scoring:

1. Runs: Batsmen score runs by running between the wickets.

2. Extras: The fielding team may concede extras for wide deliveries or no-balls.

1. Field: Use a rectangular field with dimensions suitable for the age and number of players. The field size is smaller than a standard rugby field.

2. Teams: Divide players into two teams. Each team typically has 6 to 8 players, but you can adjust based on the number of participants.

Equipment:

1. Tags: Players wear belts with attached tags (often Velcro strips) around their waists. These tags represent tackles.

2. Ball: Use a rugby ball or a soft ball suitable for the age group.

Rules:

1. Objective: The main goal is to score tries by crossing the opponent's try line with the ball.

2. Tagging: Instead of tackling, players "tag" opponents by removing one of their tags. A tag represents a tackle, and the tagged player must stop and pass the ball.

3. Passing: After being tagged, the player must pass the ball to a teammate within a certain number of steps (e.g., three steps).

4. No Contact: Emphasize that there should be no physical contact. Players avoid touching or pushing opponents.

5. Scoring: A try is scored when a player successfully carries the ball over the opponent's try line and places it on the ground.

6. Restarting Play: If the ball goes out of bounds or there is a turnover, restart play with a pass or a set play.

Gameplay:

1. Kickoff: Start the game with a kickoff from the center of the field.

2. Passing: Encourage quick and accurate passing to move the ball up the field.

3. Tagging Strategies: Teach players defensive strategies for effective tagging, such as positioning and timing.

4. Teamwork: Emphasize teamwork, communication, and creating space for ball carriers.

5. Rotations: Players rotate roles to ensure everyone has a chance to attack, defend, and handle the ball.

1. Water Balloons: Purchase pre-filled water balloons or fill regular balloons with water using a hose.

2. Water Source: Access to a hose, faucet, or water bucket for filling the balloons.

3. Outdoor Space: Choose an open outdoor area where water play is appropriate.

Basic Water Balloon Games:

1. Water Balloon Toss:

   • Pair up participants into teams of two.

   • Start with a short distance apart and toss the water balloon back and forth.

   • After each successful toss, take a step back to increase the distance.

   • The team that can toss the balloon the farthest without it breaking wins.

2. Water Balloon Dodgeball:

   • Divide participants into two teams.

   • Place a boundary between the two teams.

   • Players must throw water balloons at members of the opposing team to eliminate them.

   • If a player is hit by a balloon, they are out. The last team with remaining players wins.

3. Water Balloon Relay Race:

   • Set up a relay race course with a starting line and a turning point.

   • Divide participants into teams.

   • Each team member must carry a water balloon to the turning point and back.

   • If the balloon breaks, the player must return to the starting line and get a new balloon before continuing.

4. Water Balloon Piñata:

   • Hang water balloons from a tree or another elevated structure using string.

   • Blindfold participants and give them a stick to hit the hanging water balloons.

   • The goal is to break the balloons, releasing water. Make sure everyone stands clear of the swinging stick.

5. Water Balloon Freeze Tag:

   • Designate one person as "it."

   • Instead of tagging players with hands, "it" must hit other players with a water balloon to freeze them.

   • Tagged players can be unfrozen if another player tags them with a new, unfilled water balloon.

6. Water Balloon War:

   • Divide participants into two teams.

   • Set up a boundary for each team.

   • The objective is to soak the members of the opposing team by throwing water balloons.

   • Players must stay within their team's boundary while throwing balloons.

Safety Tips:

1. Use Biodegradable Balloons: If possible, choose biodegradable water balloons to minimize environmental impact.

2. Supervision: Ensure that young children are supervised, especially when playing with water balloons to prevent choking hazards and accidents.

3. Clear Playing Area: Remove any obstacles or hazards from the playing area to avoid injuries.

4. Encourage Gentle Play: Remind participants to play safely and avoid throwing water balloons too forcefully to prevent injuries.

What we need:

A set of Golli (marbles or small colored glass balls about 1 cm in diameter)

2 or more players

A shallow hole is dug in open ground

How to aim?

The marble is held tautly in the forefinger of the left hand. Then the right-hand flicks the golli

Remember, while pushing the marble, the left thumb should firmly touch the ground.

Who plays first?

To decide the player who gets the first turn, two lines are drawn on the ground - one about half a foot and the other three feet away from the hole. The players stand at the second line and try to throw their marbles into the hole. The person whose marble closest to the hole gets to play first.

How to Play?

The objective of the game is to throw the Golli into the hole.

Each player contributes two gollies. The first player throws them together aiming at the hole using one hand. In those two gollies one may fall in the hole and other outside the hole or both outside the hole. Then the co players choose a golli, and then the first player is asked to hit the selected golli with another golli that belongs to him. If he succeeds, he wins all the gollies in the hole. If not, he gets the one with which he hit.

The next player takes his turn with the remaining gollies.

If all the players golli does not go into the hole at the first try then second starts, in this the players have to strike out of the way the goli thrown by the other boys. Or, with a gentle blow from one’s goli, push the other goli, so into the hole. The player who ends with the largest number of marbles is the winner.

Students can learn a little about the history of taichi which is The word “Tai” （太）means “Supreme”, “Ji” （极or Chi) means “Boundary” and the word “Quan” （拳or Chuan) means “fist” or “movement”. Together the term “Taijiquan” implies a method of movement to cultivate a form of power that has no boundary.

Taichi can increase flexibility and strength, and improve cardiovascular fitness. The emphasis on correct posture means that tai chi can instill a greater awareness of the body and how it moves through space. Tai chi is also a form of meditation.

What we need:

Open space

This activity is a good way for the kids to expend their energy while helping the kids meditate/ calm down from a full day of activities

Afterwards, the kids can bring these scrolls home.

This activity can be done in pairs. They will start off by learning easier phrases such as 開心- happy or 福- blessed.

These strokes are in 繁體字 - ancient Chinese characters, as Chinese calligraphy was more commonly practiced back then where the words are written from up to down and right to left instead of our current left to right.

The aim of this activity is for the kids to take away and learn a little skill in Chinese calligraphy. It can also be practiced and appreciated in the form of art, like drawing chrysanthemums or mountains.

They also practice more patience and focus, as Chinese calligraphy requires both to create such complex writings.

What we need:

1. Calligraphy brush

2. Ink

3. Paper

4. Vine/ ribbons

• Lesson

Students will be learning how to upcycle used Red packets and form interesting origami.

Logistics:

1. Red packets

2. Stapler

3. Scissors

4. Marker (optional)

We can teach them how to make red packet origamis of many different shapes, such as fish, lanterns and even flowers

But for today let's focus on how to fold an origami fish.

First, lay the Red packet horizontally/ landscape.

Fold the bottom right corner up to form a square shape on the left and a triangle on the right.

Next, cut away the excess triangle leaving only the square.

Then, cut 1/2 way across the square starting from a corner. Which forms the tail.

Lastly, staple the tail together and you'll have a fish!!

Optional

Can draw eyes on the fish using the marker.

Logistics: thick papers, ribbon, hole puncher & colour markers/pens

Logistics: slides, print out of nian

The story of nian:

Long, long ago in ancient China, there was a fierce beast called “Nian”. Its head looked like a lion with a sharp horn on it which could be used to attack its prey. It lived at the bottom of the sea most of the time and would go ashore only on the last day of the lunar year to eat people and livestock. So on that day every year, people ate early, locked the livestock gate tightly and then fled into the distant mountains to avoid being eaten.

Then one year, an old man with silver hair came to one of the villagers and promised to drive away the cruel beast. However, all of the villagers were too scared to believe him and still fled before nightfall.

Nian broke into the village as usual and just as it was ready to butcher its prey and devour it, suddenly the sound of firecrackers arose together with bright flares. Nian trembled and dared not step forward. Then the old man stepped forward dressed in red, and this sent the beast into a frenzy. It was terrified and rushed away.

The second day, after the villagers returned and found their houses and livestock safe and sound they realized that the old man was a celestial being who had come to help them. He also told them the three secret “weapons” to drive Nian away – “items that are red in colour”, “bright lights” and “firecrackers”.

From then on, on the last day of the year, people put up red couplets, hung up red lanterns, set off firecrackers, kept the lights on and stayed up late to keep safe from Nian. As time passed, this custom spread to almost every corner of China and thus developed into one of the most important festivals of Chinese people, the Lunar New Year`s Eve.

Teaching topic : Fractions

Level 1: Introducing fraction using everyday objects

Level 2 : Teaching fraction terms

Level 3 : Equivalent Fractions

Suitable activity:

Level 1: Using paper folding to create symmetrical lines that help students visualise what is fraction

Level 2:  Students get to colour their shape of the figure to better understand the meaning of numerator and denominator. E.g. 2/3 of a circle where 2 out of 3 boxes must be coloured 

Level 3: With the coloured shapes, they get to divide the circle to more fractions and understand the concept of equivalent fractions. E.g. 2/3 = 4/6
