Dear Parents,
Greeting from SAN Academy!
We at SAN Academy, believe that holistic growth in education is not achieved through
classroom training alone. Its achieved by instilling confidence to the student through
various mediums. When they have confidence, they can have a lot of fun in learning,
which makes them accomplish amazing things. The various focus areas needed for
personal development in a child is the crux behind the choice of various clubs that
the school has to offer.
To share the initiatives that our school has taken in planning on school clubs, we
bring to you this newsletter, “MishMash” which aims to keep you updated on all the
activities planned for the months ahead.
As parents, if you have any feedbacks or queries, do feel free to drop in your
suggestions at
sankam@sanacademy.edu.in. Listening to your feedbacks makes us feel more
involved as a part of
the value addition process.

What Simon Says ...
Simon Says is a classic game. Students will listen to the
instructions and follow actions too but at some stage they
have to be very careful not to get caught out.
Have everyone stand up and begin the game, for example
teacher might start by saying “Simon says, hands on head”,
students place hands on head. The students should follow
instructions, quickly putting their hands on their heads. If
they don’t do it correctly or are just too slow then they are
out of the game and should sit down.
It’s a simple, fast activity that is great for improving listen-
ing skills and is especially fun for younger students who
love moving around.

Note: Materials will be provided by the school

Linking Letters and Words
Linking Letters and Words is a quick and easy classroom

t a b le activity that will challenge students to think of a range of

English words as fast as possible.

e le p h a n t The first student will think of a new word that begins

with the last letter of teacher’s word, the following

toy
student will do the same, taking the final letter of the

y e ll o w previous word and using it as the first letter of a new

word.

w in d o w
For example if the first word is car then the next word
could be red, followed by, dog, golf, food and so on.
The catch is that students have to think quickly and not
repeat any word that has already been used, if they repeat
a word or are too slow then they are out of the game.
