Workshop Programme example

The programme below is an example of what could be organised. Call us to discuss your needs or for further information.

The session lasts around 45 minutes, or to suit your timetable. Groups of children can then rotate in turn around the workshops. This will maximise the number of children able to participate. If time allows at the end of the day, the children can demonstrate to the rest of the school what they have learnt.

Topic 1: Tai Chi

To begin the Chinese themed day, participants will take a tai chi workshop. Tai chi is a traditional Chinese exercise. It is a ancient art of mental and physical balance. Pupils will learn the key elements of tai chi movements. Practitioners believe that this form of exercise improves concentration, preparing the children for the exciting activities for the day ahead.

Topic 2: Chinese Traditional Dance

Participants work with the facilitator to learn Chinese dance techniques. They will learn the hand gestures and their symbolic meanings and use traditional props such as fans and ribbons. In an extended residency, participants can learn a complete dance to perform for others such as the rest of the school and to parents.

If you have a theme or project you are already working on and you would like the dance leader to choreograph a Chinese style dance for you that is also possible.

Topic 3: Chinese Calligraphy and Characters

Learn about the history of the Chinese written language and discover the ancient art of Chinese calligraphy. In this workshop, students will be taught basic Chinese words and how to write them with Chinese brush and ink.
