***I can also host this fun class as a private party for you and your guests*** Let's ring in the new year together! In this one-time class, we will answer fun New Year-related "Would You Rather?" questions and go on an at-home New Year's scavenger hunt! Would you rather give up sweets for a year or give up video games for a year? Can you find an item you never want to see again in the new year? Come prepared to make decisions and hunt for items to share and discuss with the class. Joining this discussion class will be a real New Year's adventure! Dress up in your favorite outfit and come join the New Year celebration!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
For the scavenger hunt, kids will be asked to get up and go find some specific items around the house. You may wish to make sure an adult or older sibling is close by to provide assistance and “crowd control” as your child goes through the house looking for items. It may also help to set a timer for 1 minute when an item is announced and return to the class, even if you haven’t found the item. It is okay to not find everything, so please make sure your child does not stress about that and knows this challenge is all for fun!
Supply List
The kids will not need to bring any materials with them to class. However, due to the nature of a scavenger hunt, they will need to be at home or in another location where they might have access to items they are asked to find and bring back to share during the game. Learners are also encouraged to dress up in their favorite outfit to celebrate the new year!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, everyone! I'm Rhett, and I would love the chance to be one of your Outschool Instructors. From an early age, I've always found myself comfortable speaking or performing on stage to small or large groups. In high school, I competed on an elite Speech and Debate team specializing in political analysis, served as the student director for the community-access television station, and earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Mississippi State University, with dual concentrations in TV Broadcasting and Theater. I served as on-air talent for the on-campus news broadcast, performed in multiple theater productions, and was a member of Lab Rats Improv Comedy Troupe. After college, I moved to New York City for 2 years where I worked in communications and performed amateur stand up comedy. I am now back in Memphis, TN where I performed as an actor in the season 1 finale of Bluff City Law. I am also a musician and have performed live concerts at small and large venues throughout my life. My mom, Lizzy Spurlin, is an Outschool teacher as well.
My goal is to use my experiences to help students become not only effective public speakers, but confident ones. Public speaking and performance are often cited as one of many people's biggest fears. I believe I have the tools to teach students to mitigate this fear and develop their ideas into coherent messages for public presentation.
If the prospect of public speaking makes you anxious, I understand! But with the correct preparation and practice, the prospect becomes much less worrisome. I'd love to show you!
