On Wednesday, 30 October 2024, the Kindergarten students of Al Siddiq International School participated in a literacy learning activity using the Role Play method in the classroom, with the theme “My Family.” The activity began with a recall session on family members that the children had previously learned. The teacher then introduced simple English sentences such as “Who is he/she/they?” and “He is/She is/They are.” This method helped the children understand basic family concepts while also practising their English language skills in an interactive and engaging way.
The role play began with one student asking another, “Who is he?” The student being asked then responded with a simple answer such as, “He is Brother.” The activity continued in turns until every student had the opportunity to both ask and answer questions, allowing them to practise listening and speaking skills in a fun, contextual setting.
Through this interactive activity, the children not only learned to recognise family members but also developed their communication abilities and teamwork with their peers. This made the session an effective approach for enhancing both literacy development and social skills in young learners.
