Learning Through Play: A Unique Activity with Our Icons at Jabneh Christian Academy

At Jabneh Christian Academy, we believe every moment holds an opportunity for learning—sometimes in the most unexpected ways! Today, we engaged our icons in a hands-on activity. They rummaged through a suitcase to find specific items of clothing. This was based on verbal descriptions. While this might not be a traditional classroom lesson, the experience provided countless learning opportunities:

Vocabulary Development – Some icons were unfamiliar with the names of certain clothing items. This activity expanded their vocabulary and improved word association.

Listening & Comprehension Skills – They had to carefully listen to descriptions, process the information, and identify the correct item, sharpening their comprehension abilities.

Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving – Faced with multiple choices, they had to assess each item, apply reasoning, and make decisions—valuable skills for everyday life.

Confidence & Independence – Encouraging icons to search, choose, and identify items independently built their confidence and sense of independence.

Social & Teamwork Skills – Working alongside their peers fostered cooperation, patience, and communication.

We encourage you, our parents, to engage your icons in similar real-life learning experiences at home! Whether sorting laundry, setting the table, or describing objects in a fun game, everyday tasks can become powerful teaching moments.

Let’s continue to make learning dynamic, engaging, and meaningful!
