Refugee kids

At first our Thursday group of volunteers just spent time reading books with kids in the refugee camp. It was hard to find books that didn’t have too many pictures or subjects that were completely alien to life in the camp: houses, grass, parks, zoos, or even igloos. Now we have moved on from books and I spend time dreaming up lessons plans, perusing the internet for ESL games, and having similar problems. A number of activities involve using objects in the classroom--maps, clocks, even books--there are none of these.

Someone took a photo of one activity I found that was a hit” “My Grandmother (Tata) is going on a trip and in her suitcase she is bringing something beginning with letter A”, B, C. etc.
