Games workshop with first graders and kindergarteners

(OS Petra Kresimira IV., Sibenik) 

Through the whole year we held games workshops. Upper class students, with the help of their teachers, went to first graders and taught them different traditional and parlor games. Workshops were held during PE classes,  homeroom classes and extracurricular activities. They also went to a nearby kindergarten „Šibenski tići“ where they held games workshops. We noticed that younger students have very bad motor skills and concentration and they don't cooperate as the past generations who used to play different physically active games and were more interactive. Workshops results were very successful because we achieved that the younger students play games they had learned after their classes, their motor skills improved and they became very cooperative with the older students, the students who taught them games  but they also achieved interaction with their peers. Workshops had a positive influence on their whole psychophysical development.
