Making learning interesting and fun in Bo schools

JP reports on progress with the OWL EducAid project to transform teaching in Bo schools. Teachers have been preparing materials to liven their lessons.

“I am very proud to inform you of the preparation of activity-based learning games… The teachers were excited to see their creativity; the exercise was full of fun and enthusiasm.

“As part of Strategy 9 (Make Teaching and Learning Fun), these games will enable students to learn independently through their interaction with the learning activities.

“Students should never leave school without understanding what they have been taught. We are the people who can make an everlasting impact and transform the lives of the younger generation.

Let’s not go to school and teach just for the sake of teaching; let’s teach for learning
We can do this!

“For literacy games, the skills we were enforcing during this creation were:

  • Sentence construction
  • Rhyming
  • Sound of letters
  • Word recognition
  • Writing

“For numeracy, we targeted:

  • Skip counting
  • Number identification.
  • Number bond
  • Place value
  • Multiplication &
  • Number identification”
