社交技能俱樂部：自尊、公開演講、與他人溝通

Join this social skills weekly group. Where children will have lots of fun playing games, making new friends, talking about things that excite them. All the while they will also be developing great social skills and their confidence.  

During the social skills club, each child will have the opportunity to start conversations and participate in group discussions. There will be games led by both teachers and students, to support social interaction, confident building and friendship skills. The group will be a supportive, kind environment where learners can relax, be themselves and develop life skills. 

Weekly Structure

Each class will start with a warm welcome and an emotional check-in. We will discuss our day so far and any other topics that the children have on their minds.  

Next, we will play a group game or activity together. Children are welcome to bring suggestions and lead games!

We will then move onto a structured topic - such as: 

Week 1 (12 January) - Understanding Empathy 
Week 2 (19 January) - Developing Small Talk
Week 3 (26 January) - Communicating our Wants and Needs
