Show and tell isn’t just about
giving the kids a reason to bringing toys to class; each child’s social,
emotional and language skills will grow and develop from this activity
as the children learn to use descriptive language, practice listening
skills and share their special items with others. Sharing prized
possessions with peers makes for a fun and comfortable learning arena
for everyone involved. Show and tell helps foster public speaking skills
and helps children feel comfortable with talking in front of a group of
peers.
Children of class 1 had a ‘Show and Tell’ activity based on the topic –
vehicles. They enjoyed participating in the activity and felt proud in
sharing their toy vehicles with their friends.
Show and tell encouraged the children to use descriptive words and full
sentences. Questions like “Why is this special to you?” “How does this
work?” or “Where did you get this object?” helped the children to
strengthen their descriptive skills. This activity also helped children
to learn to communicate feelings, thoughts and emotions with words.
