11.6.2010: first story telling project experience

sometimes, things x turning like what we expected
the story telling project start on 9.00 am, doing a simple exercise which is telling name and tell a favourite character/ story...then asked to sound it or act it...
then, follow by a simple movie clip on local story, Sang Kancil & Si Buaya
after that, the multimedia presentation was used to sing a song....song to sing along

9.30 am: ONE STOTY I KNOW
children sit in round and they told a story they know in their life
the children was in 11-12 years old, 25 of them
they start to tell what story they have, or in their mind
there is a dominat child, who love to control over the mike and sing song, telling story about "mat rempit", ghost, little ghost, and also love to link to his friends
the only complete story they know is Sang Harimau was get trapped, help by Si Tikus, Cinderella, Snow White

the time is earlier, is 10.10am
the children can't tell any story... ... they are too shy i guess
then i take over it.

i start to tell a story A MAN WHO HAD A DREAM
when i start to tell story, all of them seems quiet, the eyes full of expectation, and surprisingly, they can focus with me and what i say they can answer and give prompt feedback.

10.30am- break time

i stop the story, then i tell the children, if they wish to know what happends to the man in mosfortune journey next, come back earlier...they do
11.00am - story continue
11.15am - playing games in group.

SIMON SAY:- let them have moved around and play...
continue with another games
12.00pm: continue with my show again: i become the story teller again
i tell the story taffy and the magic bandage
i really used the plaster to seal the mouth of each child...then when the part, Taffy swim across the pool, i also asked the children do the same. at the end, when Tafft able to recognized the lie and the truth, and tear off the plaster from mouth, i also asked the children do the same.
just: this is the moment too much challenge come in, most of the child sleep on the floor, some of them keep running around, and shouting...and even small fight. (sigh~~~)

when the story i tell finished, my team members get over the mike 
each of them rotate continue to tell story :)

i take rest... and prepared the puppet stage
suprisingly, in this children home, there is a puppet stage, u know?
it's a nice one... i didn't know that...until i had initial and run this project...














hmm... lunch break, the puppet show start, it's only work for 15 minutes...
the children was invited to do the puppet show if they want too
they are too shy, then i let them stop here...
i used music to play a game call "orchestra music conductor"
each of the child need to close his/her eyes and conduct the music accodingly
then,  follow my final plan, the Alligator and Mary, the chicken in dark mode, with candle light
i find the children likes the dark environment and they really enjoy the candle from the glasses. hmmm... the challenge is they never stop quarrel and fight to own the small light

the alligator and mary cant be friend, they fight with each other. the worst scenario is the alligator slap and puch the head of the boy who role play as the chicken, and the boy return with great fight.
they said they never become friends...
i stop this activities, and then continue with big group activity

sing a song together, and watch the favorite show of them. Upin and Ipin.
closure...

before doing the closure, a small briefing about the project, the purpose, and hope the participants to enjoy...

well it's tough
but at least.. done.
