Richard's Diary!

Take any problem in the World and it's invariably caused ( or made worse) by a lack of education. Too many kids hate school because it's too boring.

The aim of Genki Learning is to have all subjects in all countries taught in a fun, engaging and effective way. There are already a few million kids benefiting from this, and even a whole country where the government has put it in all their schools. But there's still a long way to go!

While I'm on the road you'll hear about my travels & workshops, and when I'm doing studio work I'll keep you up to date with ideas, updates to the site and some of my favourite teaching resources. So if you want to find out what's it's like behind the scenes or how & why I do what I do or even if you're just nosey or a bit bored, have a read.

I'll update the diary as often as I can, so keep coming back. And of course whilst I'm away, the office staff are always ready to send off your CD orders just as soon as you send them in!

Christmas Clothes Race

There aren’t that many ideas for teaching “clothes” on the site at the moment, so how about this Christmas variation…

First of all put several oversized Santa outfits ( from the 100 yen store!) at one end of the room

1. Put the kids in teams.
2. Everyone asks “What’s he wearing?”
3. You shout out “Sorry?”, “Sorry?” then “boots” or “hat” or whatever.
4. The kids rush to the other side of the room.
5. This first kid to put on the correct item is the winner.
6. Continue with the next person in each group & a new piece of clothing.

This should be great for class or Christmas parties. I only had the idea yesterday as a variation on the Halloween dressing up game, so it might not work in practice. But if you do get a chance to try it out, please let me know how it went!

Have a look at the main Christmas page for more Christmas Games.
