Hello, first of all a quick reminder that the Christmas Special Offer finishes on Tuesday (Christmas Day), so get your orders in soon.

Tokugaz has just put up a message on the forum that might give you a couple of ideas if you still have last minute parties to plan!

Hi,
I was invited to a “kids who refuse to go to school” Christmas party (age 11-15) yesterday by my board of education. I was told the kids probably wouldn’t speak that much or sing but my boss still wanted me to do a Christmas song with the kids…never one to be put off by teachers telling me kids can’t do this or that I got the BOE’s projector and planned to do the Genki Christmas song with them.

PARTY TIME!! I only had about 10-15 mins so I got the words for the song up on the screen and taught them the gestures, used the software for the song and what do you know, nearly everyone was singing,doing the gestures and smiling. After that we played the software game and even one boy who hadn’t said a word all the way through the party got up tried the game and got it first go which put a big smile on his face!!

Thanks to Richard for the GE software! If you haven’t given it a go in your school yet, what are you waiting for!
