Who doesn’t like to do fun classroom activities? The fifth and sixth grade students at SHSID were able to play various games at the Trivia Carnival during CAS time this past Thursday.
For most of the students, it was their first time taking part in the event. When the bells rang, students rushed to different classrooms for the fun games, including musical chairs, speed stacks, tongue twisters, and more! Some events were so popular that there were many enthusiastic participants. One of the students’ favorite games was the paper airplane station, which involved making a well-balanced plane out of A4 paper. If the students’ planes successfully flew to the appointed area five meters away, they won the game. To accomplish this goal, many participants were resilient and changed their model multiple times. Overall, it was a good opportunity to apply what they learned in Math class and think both critically and creatively.
At first glance, some games seemed easier than others, and students were often surprised at how much focus was needed for each task. When playing musical chairs, students were eliminated from the game if they lost concentration for even one second. To reward students for their hard work, all the winners received prizes for their efforts and achievements.
The overarching purpose of the Trivia Carnival is to provide an opportunity for students to compete in a fun atmosphere that both motivates and energizes them. Not only are the games engaging, interactive, and social, but they're also great tools for learning and growing both inside and outside of the classroom. We already can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year!
谁不想在课堂里玩游戏？又有谁能够光明正大玩整整两节课的游戏？五六年级的同学就可以，因为周四下午是“游戏嘉年华”。
很多同学都是第一次参加这么有趣的活动，铃声一响就迫不及待地冲进各个教室参与。活动内容多样，其中不仅有抢椅子、绕口令等传统项目，还有飞叠杯、颜色大战、定向飞行等有趣的游戏。
到底现场有多热闹呢？让我们跟随同学们的脚步到现场一探究竟！男孩们最爱的纸飞机驰骋在定向飞行的赛场上。参加者要用一张A4纸制作飞机，必须兼顾平衡性、流线型，才能稳稳飞到5米外的指定“停机坪”，这对同学们的动手能力与创造力是很好的锻炼。
有些看起来简单的游戏，其实也需要一定的技巧。比如说最简单的抢椅子游戏，只要有一秒钟走神就会被淘汰出比赛。要做好，没有高度集中的注意力可不行，其实做每件事都如此。最终，所有游戏的获胜者都赢得了小奖品，以资鼓励。
游戏不仅仅是为了好玩和社交，更是学习的好工具。游戏嘉年华，让每个孩子在开心的活动中实践所学知识，“寓教于乐”意义就在于此，无比期待来年的嘉年华！
