Rubber Ducks: Part 2
Whoops! I should have posted this a while ago but I have found a solution to teaching! While it's not perfect and I'm still working through it, the kids don't expect presents each time and I am planning to only give them out after tests or after big games like the one I have planned for later this afternoon.
So far I have only had time to work with the boys because the girls are older and have a lot more homework and studying to do as well as chores. The girls help out with cooking and cleaning and laundry while the boys don't have the same responsibilities so they have more time to learn and play educational games.
The boys love playing duck duck goose and if I could figure out a way to make them learn while playing it would be perfect. They also like playing a version of Simon Says which they call Tamil No, English Yes which is pretty straight forward. If I say a verb in English, they have to do it, but if I say it in Tamil, they can't do it. They love seeing who will win and taking turns being the caller.
I'm still working on planning other games and activities and seem to only have the best luck in small groups (aside from the Tamil No, English Yes game.) and have gotten some great suggestions! However, I won't turn any other ones away :D

| Suresh: A total sweetheart. One of the projects/activities we did was about favorite things, and for every one he would ask me what my favorite was because he wanted us to have the same one! Then to top it off, when I said to draw a picture of you and your friends, he drew a picture of us holding hands!!! |
