Show and Tell

Children will also become more comfortable contributing in class and asking questions. The process of preparing a show and tell, encourages children to consider the importance of a special item and appreciate its significance in different ways.

Preparing a show and tell about a holiday or an old family war medal for example, allows them to form an opinion and think about how it makes them feel. Researching a topic they are interested in, thinking creatively and expressing their ideas during their talk, allows children to develop a sense of pride which boosts self esteem. They also develop the ability to answer questions well. Being part of a show and tell audience is also an important part of learning.

The experts who offer proven perspectives on learning

The audience learns to sit still and listen closely to someone other than their teacher, and to be be respectful. From this listening they can learn to consider their own ideas, think of questions about the topic and raise their hand to ask their question in a well mannered way.

This is something not all children feel comfortable doing but given enough opportunity, will learn that all questions are good questions and nothing bad happens if you ask a question or share your ideas. Show and tell can also act as an ice breaker and help children connect with their peers in new ways.

For example, during a show and tell children may learn new things about each other and may chat at break time if they have discovered they have been to the same place on holiday or played the same sport. In Speech and Drama classes, children find themselves in a safe and welcoming environment where they can work on these skills in more depth.
