Coffet Workshop Review!

Filipino teachers are fantastic.  (And the food is very masarap!)

Thanks to everyone who came to this weekend’s workshop in Tokyo, you were fantastic!

It was so good to see such a huge turnout of so many amazingly genki teachers.

Here’s a little of what we did ….

  • Disco Warm up – to get everyone genki and remember “Challenge!” or “Easy!”?
  • The Agreement– we all listen and work as a team!

Over lunch I also played Ken Robinson’s TED talk on education:

Next we had …

  • The Imagination Worksheets – remember the kids start out as geniuses so let’s keep them this way!  (And we also touched on the Genki Creative Writing,  but you pretty much all switched off on that one so we quickly left it!! ) 🙂
  • So then you all went crazy for the Fruit Market dance and maths game!

And finally we had Good Cat, Bad Cat test

Wow, now that was a lot!   I hope you all got a lot of ideas there,  and remember to think big,  keep the curriculum short, and make the use of all those creative techniques!

And you never know….. there was talk of maybe inviting me back later in the year for a Christmas workshop, maybe???

Are you genki enough to do it all again. 🙂

Be genki,

Richard

    It was the best workshop I ever attended! Richard was beyond AWESOME…..
    He is CONTAGIOUS cause I am seriously infected with his ” genkiness” and I am spreading it on to my students and colleagues.
    He is such a big inspiration to us!!

    Dear Richard,

    Genki English Workshop in Tokyo was my first ever workshop here in Japan. And you and your workshop have totally awakened my teaching senses, stirred my imagination and kept my mind thinking making my classes to be more genki everyday… And now I am applying what you have taught us. And they are truly working and effective. The songs, games and quieting techniques are fun and practical to do. Everyday, I always think, plan and teach genki English to my kids.

    Now, I can say that I am your new Genki disciple!

    “Genkily” yours,

    Wilfredo
