Introduction Session


For all three groups we held a fun packed introductory session, for the children to get to know us and so that we could get to know them and their abilities.

We played a number of art games. The first was a quick drawing game where the children sat in pairs and drew each other. Once as normal, then without taking the pen of the paper, then with their other hand and finally with their eyes closed. They all seemed to enjoy this fast game and have a laugh at their funny drawings. Although one little boy at Centro Juconi got in a strop when asked to draw with his left hand and refused to do it!

For the other game we got the children to draw around each other on large pieces of paper. We then gave them different things to draw (family members, school, favourite animals etc) inside their figures. They only had 1 minute to draw each and then we gave them 10 minutes at the end to finish off and decorate the whole page. Centro Juconi worked with pens and paints, Casa Juconi with pens and tissue paper and Volcanes with pens and colouring pencils.
