Celebrating National Children’s Day Through Creativity and Traditional Games

In celebration of National Children’s Day, the pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten took part in a variety of educational and enjoyable activities on Thursday, 23 July 2026. The programme was held both in the classroom and on the school field, embracing the concept of learning through play. This special occasion provided children with the opportunity to celebrate their childhood through activities that were not only entertaining but also beneficial for the development of their character, physical and motor skills, creativity, and practical abilities. The day began with the daily routines that have become positive habits at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten, including a warm-up exercise session followed by the Duha prayer. Once the children felt refreshed and spiritually prepared for learning, they enthusiastically moved on to the day’s main activities. The classroom was filled with excitement as the pupils created ducks from coloured card using a simple folding technique inspired by origami. Guided by their teachers, each child carefully completed their craft and proudly displayed their unique creation. Through this duck-making activity, the children developed their fine motor skills, improved hand-eye coordination, and strengthened their concentration and patience. The activity also nurtured self-confidence, as every child’s artwork reflected their own creativity and individuality. The teachers praised each pupil’s efforts, helping them feel appreciated and encouraging them to continue expressing their creativity. After completing their classroom activity, all the pupils went to the school field to play Otok-Otok Ayam, a traditional Indonesian game that is simple yet full of cultural significance. The distinctive sounds produced by the toy filled the playground with laughter and excitement. Playing together not only created a joyful atmosphere but also helped the children develop social skills, teamwork, and respect for one another through shared play. Introducing traditional games as part of the National Children’s Day celebration serves an important purpose. In today’s rapidly advancing digital age, it is essential for children to become familiar once again with traditional games as part of Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. Games such as Otok-Otok Ayam teach children that happiness can be found through simple activities that encourage direct interaction, active movement, and meaningful time spent with friends. The National Children’s Day celebration at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten demonstrated that meaningful learning does not always take place through textbooks or classroom lessons alone. Through creative activities and traditional games, the children gained valuable learning experiences in a fun and engaging environment. It is hoped that programmes such as this will continue to be organised to foster a child-friendly learning environment, build positive character, and support children’s overall growth and development. With smiles, laughter, and enthusiasm shining throughout the day, this year’s National Children’s Day became a joyful and memorable occasion that will remain a cherished memory for all the pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten.by Inka Amalia, S.Pd

OMHL (One Month Habituation Language): A Month of Building English and Arabic Language Habits at Al Siddiq International Secondary School

Bekasi – In its commitment to enhancing students’ global communication skills while strengthening their Islamic identity, Al Siddiq International Secondary School has introduced the OMHL (One Month Habituation Language) programme, a month-long initiative designed to cultivate the regular use of both English and Arabic. The programme has been developed as part of the school’s Active Learning approach, focusing on establishing language habits through authentic daily practice. Throughout the month, all students are encouraged to use English and Arabic in a wide range of school activities, ensuring that the languages are not merely studied as academic subjects but become practical tools for everyday communication. Through OMHL, students enjoy an engaging and interactive learning experience with a variety of language-based activities, including Communication Practice, Speaking Sessions, Reading Activities, Watching Educational Videos, Vocabulary Building, Role Play, Conversation Practice, Presentations, and a range of educational language games that encourage students to communicate confidently and actively. During the Watching Educational Videos sessions, students watch English and Arabic educational videos appropriate to their language proficiency. They then participate in discussions, answer comprehension questions, retell the content of the videos, and practise the dialogues they have learnt. This integrated approach helps to develop their listening, speaking, reading, and critical thinking skills simultaneously. Language habituation extends beyond the classroom and is implemented throughout the school environment. Students are encouraged to use English and Arabic when greeting teachers and classmates, reciting prayers, giving simple instructions, and engaging in everyday conversations. As a result, they become accustomed to using foreign languages naturally and confidently in a variety of situations. The Head of School stated that the OMHL programme is a strategic initiative aimed at fostering a school culture that supports proficiency in international languages while preserving Islamic values. English equips students to meet the challenges of an increasingly globalised world, whilst Arabic serves as a gateway to understanding the Holy Qur’an, the Hadith, and the rich intellectual heritage of Islamic scholarship. Through the One Month Habituation Language programme, Al Siddiq International Secondary School aspires to create a communicative, active, and inspiring learning environment. The programme provides an essential foundation for developing students who are linguistically proficient, critical thinkers, self-confident, and well-prepared to compete at both national and international levels, in line with the school’s vision of becoming an internationally recognised Islamic educational institution that integrates character development, academic excellence, and global competence.By Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc, M.Pd
