DA#3 – Explore Emotions with 5-Picture-Method

Which emotions do you know and how can you catch them within a photo?

Children go on a photo safari and use the camera to explore their surroundings and their personal connection with it. By using a digital tool, children see their environment through different eyes, explore its meaning and change the perception. At home and in kindergarten children learn to review photos with categories and to identify and name personal viewpoints and emotions as well as to use a collaborative tool like an online bulletin board to share content and recap experiences with others. The children can also use the photo material to work together as a group, invent ideas and create a little story together.

DA#2 – Emotion Memory Game

Can you recognize and imitate simple emotions?

In a social environment, it’s important to be able to recognize emotions (yours and those of your peers) to communicate. This atelier helps children recognize emotions using a milestone of the digital culture: the smileys 😀

In the first part, children will discover emotions and mimic them. They play a memory game to associate smileys and faces.

In the second part, the children take pictures and use Learning Apps to create in school their own memory game with pictures taken at home with their family. This game will then be played at school with all the pupils so they get to know their classmates’ family members in a playful way.

DA#1 – The Mascot’s Trip

How can we convey a message using a photograph?

Building on the journey of a class mascot between school and home, this workshop explores an educational approach to photography. Specifically, it consists in preparing and documenting through photos the adventures of the mascot travelling from family to family. Through this approach, the children handle the photo media both in terms of production (shooting) and of reception (analysis, impact of the point of view, etc.) to sharpen their perspective.


An idea from

Kareen Krief, Belgrade municipal school – Belgium, in co-design with Média Animation ASBL


Time

7 activities at school for a total of 5 hours and 4 activities at home
