One Size doesn't Fit All! Rule of Game is to be able to... CUSTOMISE!
This is an exercise for the younger students. We have a standard Slippers Template which we want the kids to trace the shape onto their drawing paper. With all having the same slippers outline, they are required to become a 'designer', designing their own pair of slippers, giving it a different background
What did they come out with?... Yes! Slippers on sandy beach...on deep blue sea...on shallow river...on green grass patch...in jungle... Hahaha...They can be really creative man
What we want to achieve in this lesson is to let the kids' creative juices flow naturally. With limited guidelines given, the kids will have to learn to make their own decision and cope with "flexibility"
Some might say..."Isn't it easier for the kids if more flexibility were given to them?" You will be surprised man. Young kids will feel 'lost' if too many choices were given to them. They are used to receiving specific instruction to execute jobs given to them. They need to learn to move out from this 'box'! This is part of their learning process
