Lol. B True, you want me to turn 6 year olds into bodybuilders? Should I get them started on cardio too?

Good icebreaker.

When they come into the room...tell them your name and talk to them for just a minute. Don't give them ANY personal information about yourself.

Give them a quiz.

1) How old am I?

2) What kind of car do I drive?

3) Do I have a dog or a cat? What kind?

4) What does my boyfriend/girlfriend look like?

5) What sports do I like?

You can make up some others too. It can take about 20-30 minutes total if you really describe it a lot and let them be creative. Go over the correct answers with them..one by one. Let 2-3 students give and explain their answers for each one before you answer them.

After it is over...talk about how we look at people and think that they are one type of person when really they are not. How our perceptions and beliefs direct our thoughts of a person before we even know them.

I like to do this with different groups in a day...with each group I will wear different clothes, inroduce myself in a different manner, and will talk about different things before we begin the quiz...so that I can see that how I act in the first five minutes (or less) can influence their total perception of me.

Just a thought

That's a really great idea. I like it.

See, here is my problem. I need some ideas for something that I could do with the girls over the course of a few weeks. This won't be just one class with them. The class will last a while. Any ideas?

How many times will you be seeing them...everyday...an hour each..how many?

What interests you a bit?

How can you tie that into them?

How can you tie it into a 6 year old and a 16 year old?

The 6 year olds won't be with 16 year olds. The girls will be split up by ages. I'm not sure how the classes will go. They may be every day. They might be every other day. They might even be once a week. I'm not really sure. And as far as my interests, I am simply trying to think of some things that would be good for the girls, and that I could actually do.

You ought to teach the older girls, say 14+, how to give head without dragging their teeth. That is a skill the whole world will appreciate someday.

Well, the interview went well. She had some ideas of her own about what I could do with the girls. She thinks I would be best to work with ages 9-11. That works for me. She loved some of the ideas I named thanks to you all. Thanks a bunch!

We bought rum flavoring for our lip gloss adventure, you can get them hooked early.
