Hello partners!
Today I would like to talk you about what we did last Thursday in class.
We were learning how to use drama with children. To learn about it we did different activities because the best way to apply something with children is to apply it to us first.
To start with we were walking around the class listening to music and thinking about a character. When the music stopped we should get frozen imitating the character and explain who we were and what we were doing.
Later, we went up to the stage. We looked to the public and we told them our name and what we liked to do during our free time. For example I told them: "Hello my name is Ester and I love to play with Alberto to play station".
Also we played something similiar to rock, paper, scissors. It was called giants, gnomes and wizards. Giants won wizards, wizards won gnomes and gnomes won giants. Raquel said 1, 2 and 3 and we had to do one of them.
Additionally, we were divided in two groups of four people. We did a silent theatre in which each one had to add something to the story, I mean, each one did an action and next one did what the partner did and to add another one. The other group had to guess and explain what had been done. In addition we did a different kind of theatre in which three of us had to play some roles and the other partners through questions had to guess what was happening and which roles we had.
Later on, we did a circle in which we told a story saying a word each one. It was silly at the beginning but later it was really funny. Also we tryed to talk with our partners following an order. The order was to start the sentences using a letter from the alphabet. For me, it has been really difficult.
Finally, to end up the class, we have been doing imitations of famous people. One of us was the person and another one was the arms of this person. In my case I was Duchess of Alba and Alberto was my arms. It was really funny, because the rest of the partners ask us some questions and we had to answer them.
I really enjoyed this lesson and I think it is very useful. I hope you like these activities and you will use them in class :)

Workshop
Hello everybody! :)
My post of these two weeks is dedicated to the workshops we did last Tuesday with children from the school Daoiz y Velarde.
The class was divided in different groups and we had to create a workshop (different in each group) related with a famous fairy tale. The main objectives we had were: to let children know about the story and to let them retell the story.
The different workshops were: Aladdin, Snow White, Hercules, Alice in wonderworld, Three Little Pigs and Cinderella. I belonged to the last one, so I am going to tell you what we did.
First of all I want you to know who were my partners: Alberto S., Alberto Z., Edu, Rebeca, Nuria, Lenka, Martina and Tatiana.
As you can see in the picture Alberto S. is missed. He is not in the picture because he was our fairy. Each group had a person who was in charge of a group of children. His job was to care children, to go with them to each workshop and to help them if they need somthing.
Now you know my partners I am going to tell you what we did.
To develop the activity we crated 5 books like this one.
In each book children can find the story of Cinderella but with some changes. For example, Cinderella didn't lose a shoe but a trainer.
We decided to create only 5 books because as children were in groups of 9/10 ,in this way, children could be in couples with 1 or 2 of us.
Along the activity children had to read the book with us and find the mistakes. Additionally we gave them some pictures that they had to put in the correct place. For example, if in one parragraph the book is talking about the Fairy God Mother obviously the picture children had to locate was the one that talked about her.
After that we wanted to do with them another activity. The activity was about frozen frames. We wanted children to do a frozen frame with the part they liked the most. But, unfortunatelly, we had no enough time so we didn't do it.
Finally, we gave each child a medal. It had a picture of Cinderella and it was written well done.
If you want to know more about another workshops you can visit Alberto Salcedo's blog because we has posted about the workshops he saw as a fairy. Here I writeyou the link where you can read it:
