“Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn.”- Benjamin Franklin
Having the show and tell is one way where students could express information by themselves and develop self-confidence. As we all know that kids are always fascinated by toys. Therefore, in order to develop self-confidence and to improve communication skills in our students, we had a show and tell activity at the Nursery level of LMA 6E, related to the theme “Toys and games”.
Mothers were invited to witness the activity. Students brought their favorite toys and spoke confidently about them. This activity gave the students an opportunity to stand up in front of their peers and speak about a topic of their interest. It helped children in developing effective communication skills.
Facing the audience and speaking confidently is never a big deal for the little shining stars of LMA 6E!
They started off with a greeting note, followed by introducing themselves and then showing and telling about their favorite toys. All the students at our nursery level actively participated in this activity. It was divided into 2 days. Nursery Lily and Nursery Rose presented their “show and tell” on the first day, whereas, Nursery Pansy and Nursery Iris on the other day.
The mothers were overwhelmed to see their children participating and speaking so well. They shared their positive feedback in the end. It was a treat to watch!
Most people say, “show, don’t tell,” but I stand by show and tell, because when writers put their work out into the world, they are like kids bringing their broken unicorns and chewed-up teddy bears into the class in the hope that someone else will love them as much as they do. – Colson Whitehead.
