A creative week

This week begun the awaited Summer English camp in Zeimuls on which the JACis volunteers were asked to present their countries and organize some workshops.

The first to go was Pilar who not only presented Spain on Tuesday but on Monday made wih Carmen, her sister and a volunteer in Zeimuls, a beading workshop.


















The kids were really happy to learn how to do animals, fruits or flowers from little beads, It's for sure a patient work during which you have to be really careful, But after all is rewarding, seeing the beauty that you created.

Do you like what the kids created?

On Tuesday was the Spanish presentation, made by Pilar and Carmen.

Spain is an interesting country and for sure the kids were excited to learn more about it.
Except general information about Spain: where it is, how big it is, what is the capital, Pilar and Carmen taugh the kids a little bit of Spanish. Enough so they can sing and dance one Spanish song together.
I think they had great fun doing so.

In the same time in JACis the other volunteers, Prokop and Georgi, tried a new game with the youngsters.







The game's name is Europe and it's a game with questions from all around the world. I personaly find that this kind of games are the best way for the youngsters to know and remember different facts.

 Do you like this kind of games too or find them difficult?

Wednesday was an eventful day in both the camp and in JACis.

It was the day of Prokop's Slovakian presentation. Slovakia seems both near and a distant country to us, deffinetely not one for which we have a lot of information. He did his best to get it known by the kids and in the end cook a traditional food.


In JACis on the other hand Georgi decided to organize a football game. Excitedly accepted by the kids, everybody headed outside .

Football is one of the favorite JACis games and everybody seems pasionate about it, especially the younger kids. Don't look at them lightly tough, some of them are better than the grown ups.

In the end of the week Pilar did another beading workshop.This time in JACis, to share what she had learned from hew experience in Zeimuls.

There were not so many kids as on the camp but nevertheless it was fun and interesting, needless to say - creative.
