12th November 2017: workshop "Active learning by active games" at Chea Sim University of Kamchaymear, campus in Prey Veng

Waking up in a room besides the Mekong River! Amazing.  When I arrived yesterday it was dark so I couldn't see the nice view!

After a little reflection about my first workshop, I'm ready to teach a new group and sharing the idea of integration of cognitive, motorial and social learning outcomes by teaching active games.

After a speech of Mr. Rady, Vice Rector, my workshop starts.

Mr. Rady gives a little introduction 

After my theoretical background, we start playing the active games.

Playing "Learning dice" 

Playing cards to exercise mathematics (sum and multiplication) 

Playing "My name is" with Flash Card Food, Fruits and Vegetables 

Preparing the room for the active game "Left, right, up, down,..."

Collecting letters for the active scrabble 

Making words with the letters... which team has the highest score?  Red, yellow or orange? 

Summary with tips and tricks 

You were great! Thank you for your active participation and attendance!

Thank you Mr. Rady, the deputy director, the teachers and the students for the great hospitality. 

Everyone earns a certificate.

Thump up for your attendance!

After the workshop, a staff member of Svay Rieng University, Mr. Phat Panhvoan, drives me to Svay Rieng.  2 Students join us and it is a very nice and beautiful drive.  Lots of nature, rice fields and we make a stop by a women, who makes ambak (a sort of roasted riceflakes).  My kids will be happy to taste them with vegetable milk and a banana. Making this is a very hard job!
