Workshop
We
have
now
been
in
the
Hoa
Thuy
Tien
Kindergarten
for
two
months
and
it
is
now
time
for
us
to
present
our
first
workshop.
After
spending
some
time
observing
the
children,
we
have
decided
to
focus
on
the
social
skills.
We
have
chosen
this
subject,
because
it
is
highly
valued
in
the
Danish
kindergartens.
We
also
believe
that
it
would
be
useful
for
the
children
here
at
the
Hoa
Thuy
Tien
kindergarten,
because
we
have
noticed
that
quite
often
the
children
play
along
each
other
and
not
with
each
other.
We
truly
believe
that
it
is
important
for
the
children
to
have
good
relations
to
each
other.
The
theoretical part:
We
have
chosen
to
base
our
theoretical
part
on
Bente
Jensen´s
research.
She
was
formerly
Associate
Professor,
PhD
at
the
Department
of
Educational
Sociology,
National
University
of
Education
is
now
an
Associate
Professor
at
the
Institute
for
Learning
with
an
interest
in
for
research
in
social
inheritance,
vulnerable
children
and
early
intervention.
In
an
environment
where
the
children
feel
that
they
are
seen,
where
they
feel
safe
and
respected,
will
result
in
a
natural
and
positive
development
of
their
social
skills
by
participating
and
playing
with
other
children
and
adults.
What
are social skills?
What
are
social
skills?
There
are
a
lot
of
different
definitions
of
social
skills.
We
have
defined
them
as
helping
children
become
comfortable
and
competent
in
social
situations.
To
be
able
“to
establish
friendships,
be
with
other
children,
and
to
feel
and
express
empathy
and
respect
for
other
children.
Social
skills is the ability to be curious about what happens around you,
what are the other kids doing and can the child maybe learn something
from them. It’s not only about playing alone, but about interacting
in a group of children and adults. It also means that the child must
be able to express its emotions to other children and make them
understand their feelings. At the same time, the child has to be able
to intercept the emotions coming back from the person it’s
communicating with.
Social
skills
is
also
about
seeing
and
understanding
the
needs
of
other
children.
They
must
be
able
to
take
part
in
the
problems
of
other
people,
and
help
them
if
they
are
sad.
Showing
empathy
is
about
putting
you
in
other
peoples
place,
and
recognizing
the
needs
of
others.
At
last
it’s
important
to
be
included
in
friendships
and
relations
with
other
children.
The
contact
they
have
every
day
is
necessary
for
the
development
of
the
child.
Children
develop
their
social
skills,
by
bonding
to
other
people,
working
together
and
by
putting
themselves
in
other
peoples
place.
The
drawing
above
shows
how
you
can
connect
the
different
areas
of
social
skills.
There
are
4
big
areas
when
you
talk
about
social
skills.
That
is
Basic
Interaction,
Communication
skills,
Conflict
Resolutions
and
Team
Building
skills.
From
each
area
there
are
links
to
smaller
groups
connected
to
that
area.
The
first
one
is
Basic
interaction,
where
the
most
important
ones
are
making
eye
contact,
form
groups
quietly
and
sharing
the
materiel.
For
communication
skills
the
most
important
are
use
low
voices,
take
turns
and
listen
to
speaker.
The
next
big
group
is
conflict
resolution.
In
this
case
the
important
links
are
compromise,
negotiate
and
explorer
different
points
of
view.
At
last
we
have
Team
building
skills.
The
three
most
important
links
in
this
group
is
offer
your
help,
encourage
each
other
and
disagree
with
the
idea,
not
the
person.
When
we
do
the
different
activities
outside
(described
later)
we
hope
to
get
around
all
the
groups,
so
that
the
children
will
have
knowledge
of
all
the
areas
connected
around
social
skills
Why
work with social skills?
The
purpose
of
social
skills
is
that
the
children
are
recognized
and
respected
by
the
people
surrounding
them.
Children
should
feel
as
they
are
a
significant
part
of
a
group
and
have
the
opportunities
to
build
social
relationships
and
communities.
Therefore
children
acquire
a
belief
in
themselves
and
the
social
opportunities
".
The
social
aspect
is
defined
not
just
as
a
matter
of
social
behavior,
but
as
good
behavior
or
attached
to
avoid
conflicts.
The
social
aspect
perceived
rather
as
something
fundamental,
in
order
that
the
child
learns
and
develops
optimally.
Social
skills
are
not
something
you
can
measure
or
grade.
However,
social
skills
is
necessary
through
your
whole
life.
It’s
shown
in
the
way
you
behave
among
other
people
at
your
work,
your
school,
with
your
friends
or
just
in
the
normal
day
to
day
life.
Social
skills
are
also
useful
to
solve
problems.
It
can
be
unexpected
problems
at
your
work
that
you
have
a
better
chance
to
solve
if
you
have
learned
social
skills
from
the
childhood.
It’s
not
reasonable
to
say
have
if
you
have
success
in
life,
you
must
have
social
skills.
But
if
you
can
live
a
normal
life
in
a
society,
and
you
feel
happy
about
yourself,
its
is
possible
that
you
have
some
sort
of
social
skills.
How
does one work and give support to the development of the social
skills?
It
is important that children are supported to form friendships and
learn how to get into and be a part of a group. It is in relations
with others, children experience the strength and importance, and
here there is access to give and gain recognition.
It
is
not
easy
to
show
what
social
skills
are
because
as
we
told
you,
social
skills
are
many
things
combined
to
each
other.
But
we
have
found
a
little
puppet
video
from
Youtube,
which
shows
how
to
act
and
not
to
act
in
three
different
situations
to
be
a
good
friend.
As
the video shows, in any given situation there are always two or more
ways of reaction during a conflict. The video illustrates how one can
react in a good or in a bad way, the good way being how to
demonstrate good social skills.
We
now
have
2
examples
from
the
classroom,
showing
how
the
teachers
can
use
social
skills
to
create
relations
for
all
the
children,
also
the
quiet
ones.
We
have
observed
that
when
it´s
time
to
play
with
toys,
in
the
afternoon,
it´s
often
the
same
children
playing
together
and
some
children
sitting
alone
with
the
toys.
In
that
case
the
teachers
can
help
the
quiet
children
by
encouraging
them
to
play
with
the
other
children.
Then
they
will
have
the
possibility
to
interact
and
communicate.
In
general
they
will
feel
more
satisfaction
when
they
learn,
that
their
opinion
is
just
as
important
as
the
other
children.
At
the
same
time
the
teachers
must
encourage
the
more
notable
children
to
allow
the
quiet
children
to
speak
and
be
a
part
of
the
activity.
The
next
example
from
the
classroom
is
our
observations
about
being
a
new
child
in
a
class.
when
a
new
child
starts
I
Hoa
Thuy
Tien
kindergarden,
it’s
important
for
the
child
to
feel
welcome
and
safe.
The
teachers
can
help
with
this
by
preparing
the
other
kids
for
a
new
child,
so
that
they
will
be
ready
to
take
good
care
of
the
him/her.
It’s
the
teachers
job
to
encourage
the
children
to
help
and
show
the
new
child
how
things
are
done
in
the
daily
routines.
We
have now talked about the theory, and described for you what social
skills are and why it is important to work with.
Deskription
of
the
activities
After
the break we will go outside and show you which activities you can
use to improve the social skills. The most important thing for these
activities is for the children to talk to each other in a nice way,
help each other, teamwork, taking care of others if they have
problems, and help the kids to trust each other. But it’s also
important for the children to be able to explain their feelings to
the other children. If they have problems with the activity or think
it’s hard, they must tell the teachers or the other children,
instead of crying or sitting quietly in the corner.
We
have
chosen
to
do
these
activities
like
a
menu,
with
starters,
main
course
and
dessert.
This
is
an
initiative
we
got
from
one
of
our
subject:
SKB
(Health,
Body
and
Movement)
Today
you
teachers
will
participate
as
the
children.
That’s
so
you
can
learn
the
games
and
then
learn
it
to
the
children
later
on.
For
starters you have to do a game where a group of people stands on a
blanket, and at the same time flip it upside down. This game will
help the children communicate, help each other and support each
other, because the best way to solve this activity is by teamwork.
The next activity is the game called, follow the leader. It’s a
game where you have to pick out one leader and then all the others
have to follow the leader in a long line. Then they have to copy
everything the leader does. If they don’t copy him or get out of
the line, they are out of the game. This activity helps a child being
aware of what other children do. It’s also important to do exactly
the same as a group, because if one child does the wrong thing, maybe
the others will do the same. Again it helps the children to work
together, and notice what happens around them. Because all the
children must try being the leader, it also gives them success,
because they can decide what all the other children must do.
For
main curse we have decided that you have to do an obstacle court
while you are blinded. This is done 2 and 2 together, and then one
has blinded eyes and is the person who has to complete the court. The
other person´s job is to guide, touch and lead him through the
court. In this game you practice communication skills, helping
another person, and then you also learn to trust other people,
because they have to help you through the court.
For
the
dessert
we
have
chosen
to
do
something
called
pizza
massage.
Again
you
are
2
and
2
together.
One
of
you
has
to
give
the
other
a
massage
like
you
make
a
pizza.
From
making
the
dough,
putting
on
the
tomato
sauce,
and
ending
it
with
topping.
This
helps
the
children
to
trust
each
other,
gives
them
an
relaxing
time
and
it’s
also
good
for
creating
healthy
relations.
Sometimes
some
children
have
difficulties
with
giving
and
receiving
a
massage.
If
that’s
the
case
you
can
start
by
using
a
ball
instead
of
a
person.
