hOppy easter!

Sunday, April 19th was Easter in America, so we had some Easter fun in English Club to celebrate the Holiday!

First, we played an egg relay game in the classroom. Since we were indoors, I told the students to be careful not to drop the eggs because if they did, there would be a big mess and they would have to it clean up! What I didn't tell them was that I had already hard-boiled all of the eggs so if (when) they did fall, it would be ok. The students, however, thought the eggs were raw! They were SO careful not to drop any of them!

The game went pretty well for the first 10 minutes until all of a sudden, a group of girls screamed and jumped back about 5 feet as an egg dropped to the ground off someone's spoon. They paused and there was silence for several seconds while they processed that their dropped egg hadn't splatter. We all laughed. They were so surprised!

After that, we all colored Easter Eggs! When all the eggs were colored, it look as if the Easter Bunny had visited, for sure! This was also the first time the new first year students joined us for Club. I think everyone had a good time in English Club for Easter!
