CLASSES FOR CHILDREN SPELLING GAME 11 December 2014 (Thursday): 4 PM - 6 PM (Narnia Cultural Centre, ul. Lwowska 12) The aim of the classes is to develop in children a passion for books, booklets and illustrations. Children will read, write, paint, draw, get dirty, smile, jump and invent trifles and pieces of wisdom. They will discover or create their favourite words for each letter of the alphabet. Literature will provide children with a pretext for creating along with carefree fun as well as serious deliberations. Instructor: Katarzyna Krzywicka TAMING OF A REINDEER 19 December 2014 (Friday): 4 PM - 6 PM (Narnia Cultural Centre, ul. Lwowska 12) First, the children will get to know one another passing a shaman’s rattle from one to another. We will then talk about best Christmas presents, focusing the children’s attention on more profound values connected with Christmas and Christmas wishes, the joy of being together and celebrating it together. Next, we will play a relaxation game based on visualization. With their eyes closed, the children will listen to the sounds made by the woods, environment, bells and Tibetan singing bowls. The children will open their eyes for a moment to listen to a Reindeer tell a story about letters that can make wishes come true. The Reindeer will then leave a cardboard reindeers and materials for making envelopes and vanish. The letters can be hanged on the Reindeer's horns every year. They have supernatural powers.
