What Is Show-And-Tell?
The show and tell exercise is a great initiative taken by the American education system. This method helps to improve and developed young students’ skills and made them more confident and successful in their futures.
The best thing about this method is that it targets the young students of preschool and nurtures them from a very early age. It benefits the students in the long run.
In this activity, students are given a specific letter. They have to bring an item from their homes that start with that letter. Then they have to showcase the item in front of the class and then tell something about the item.
This simple method is filled with fun, interaction, and educative means. Children become more confident through this exercise.
They develop their social skills such as public speaking skills, storytelling skills, audience engaging skills, and problem-solving skills. Through this method, children’s morale gets boosted and they become friendlier.
Also, this exercise makes the bond stronger between the students and parents. As the exercise is for the pre-schoolers, the parents have to choose items for them as per their choice.
Then the parents have to teach them fun and educative facts about the items so that they can demonstrate well in their class activity.
