VALUABLE YOU SUMMER CAMP SUCCESS! WEEK ONE

I started a Valuable YOU Summer camp this week in partnership with Teeky Arena & Events Place. These are the nuggets for week one.

Day 1 – The girls were introduced to the vision of Valuable YOU Summer Camp and what to expect. They were introduced to the Valuable YOU Anthem which they recite every day to reaffirm how valuable they are. The first discussion we had was on building self confidence and I went through the tools to achieve that. I introduced them to games that are directed at building confidence which they all took part in and enjoyed. I am very passionate about girls speaking properly and eloquently which also builds confidence, so we also did some fun tongue twister activities. Mrs Eziafa Nwokolo, visited in the afternoon and spoke to the girls about believing in themselves. She said, the three most important people they should listen to are God, their parents and themselves. The girls also had some fun dancing to Zumba and taking part in a treasure hunt. The girls wrote down all their key learning for the day.

Day 2 – We continued some of the daily activities described in day one such as the Valuable YOU anthem and diction. The theme on Day 2 was about Etiquette and Table Manners. We discussed etiquette and how important it is to have good manners where ever you go. I told them the importance of making a good first impression. The girls took part in dressing a table and also brainstormed all they knew about table manners. They played fun etiquette games including using magic words in different languages. The key learning here is that you need to have good manners wherever you go in the world. Our guest speaker was Madame Solange, Fashion blogger and personal stylist. She showed the girls images of different styles. She talked about knowing your body type and importance of personal style and having your own uniqueness. The girls wrote down all their key learning for the day.

Day 3 Today was about essentials of good leadership. I went through a presentation that I usually share with corporate organisations but I toned it down to suit their age. We discussed essentials of good leadership and ways that they would improve their country. They took part in leadership games that included being blind folded and being led by the leader who gave instructions. The girls had a chance to play some outside games which included a tug of war which they all enjoyed. Our guest speaker and parent Ama also gave the girls some words of wisdom and told the girls how important is it to be confident. She said she was fortunate to have a father who taught her to believe in herself so she never lacked confidence. In their creative writing session, they wrote down all their key learning and then read it aloud to the group. Throughout the week I kept reaffirming how valuable they are.

We resume Monday July 20th from 10am to 1pm
