This is already the 2nd week of  hihilulu Atelier® virtual summer camp!  Our little campers and I further explore the magic world of numbers and the math in our daily life. 

Tell time on a clock with NeoBear,  recite phone numbers, count to hundreds, calculate the price of our virtual yami-yami icecreams! 

In general, I start our daily one hour camp session from a theme-based Chinese cartoon. During the first part of 25 minutes, we watch cartoon together, share our feedbacks, analyse stories, speak the key expressions and phrases we learnt from cartoon.

Then we have a 10 minutes break for the reason that children have short effective attention span. I led them do a bit social in Chinese, or do some  body stretch, or simply get a glass of water. 

The last 25 minutes are dedicated to theme-related games and activities, which allow us to play the cartoon story, practice dialogues or expressions learnt.

One hour just so easily slips away: our little campers, from beginning to the end,  actively keep their participation, show their works and creations, join our theme-related conversation. I found that the virtual distance does not prevent them from making friends with each other, neither limits their curiosity about the others' world. They are so happy to "e-meet" here and social with each other in Chinese language, virtually but safely!
