Hwajeong Elementary Winter Camp

Posted by Tony Rubino Saturday, March 13, 2010

In Korea most schools run something that’s called English Winter Camp.  The camp is voluntary and is intended as extra English instruction but in a more casual and fun format.  Scott (the new English teacher) and I were determined to make sure the kids did nothing but have fun.  So we designed a camp that was filled with games, activities and prizes.  Here are two of my favourites and some highlight pictures.

Day One – Egg Drop

Who doesn’t love dropping and breaking things?  Well I guess a cleaning  lady wouldn’t BUT kids love it…and so do I so what better way to start camp than to break stuff.  For this activity kids were provided materials with which they had to design and built something to protect their egg from a 3 story fall.  AWESOME!!!

Day Two - Sandwich Making Contest

Sandwich contest was so much fun.  The kids had to make a recipe based on the available ingredients and then build a custom sandwich.  Once everyone was done they got to taste the other teams sandwiches and score them based on criteria.  Kids make weird sandwiches.
