30thNov11-PA-LC-11-Kim SengRC

I returned to Kim Seng cc to conduct for a special group organized by Lawrence from Kim Seng cc. The dynamic is not the same as the children know each other. All my participants are either Malay or Indian and they are really LOL . One boy did very well with gibberish. One exceptionally well with penguin walk...ha haha!!! Anyhow, the room was filled with laughter and they told me they are "HAPPY" and it was "FUN". CLYL-Danny and LP-Lim , Ming and mum were present to join in the fun.

28thNov11-PA-LC-8-Nee Soon

Session #8 laughing children was held at Nee Soon East and it was for 18 children but 3 didn't turn up. The age gap for this group is from 6 to 13 years with equal numbers of boys and girls. Most of the children are rather shy in the beginning so they only giggle ...but after 1 hour of 'playing' they were able to laugh heartily. See the group laughing away.

25thNov11-PA-LC-7-Anchovale

This 7th session is the last of the first week of PA kiddie - Laughing children session. Although only 10 children, we did have a great time. There were a couple of challenges in the beginning with an Indian boy and a slightly bigger girl. After 30 mins into the laughter session, they can't stop their 'playful' personality but to enjoy with the rest. see a little about them in this movie.
