Imagine that you are visiting a country or culture where you are not easily understood. Your expectations about time, personal space, the roles of men and women, and communication styles seem foreign to the people you encounter. You are hungry and need to get something to eat. Where will you choose to go? How will you interact with the people to get what you need? Describe what this experience would be like. Give one example of how a miscommunication could occur.
What are some ways you might seek to be understood? How can this thought experiment help you in your daily life?

Children learn, develop critical skills, and have fun when provided the opportunity for creative, artistic expression. Painting, coloring, writing, making music, and making crafts are all creative activities. Creative expression helps children articulate their feelings and thoughts. They think critically about their world and practice visual communication. Young children learn colors, shapes, and sounds during creative play. They begin to understand cause and effect. When children dance, they get physical exercise and develop coordination and balance.
Encouraging creative expression is easy in both indoor and outdoor playspaces. Include designated spaces for creativity, such as a music room, area, or panel. Outdoor playspaces can include areas for chalk drawing and art panels, while indoor playspaces can have an art room for drawing and painting. Even better invite artists to come and paint or sculpt with the children as part of your camp or programming activities.
Art
If youve ever tried scrubbing crayon marks off a freshly-painted wall, you know children like to express themselves artistically! While walls and floors might not be the best surfaces for their talents, its great to encourage children to freely explore making art. Provide space, time, and tools for art, and watch their creativity flourish! Also, ask children about their artistic projects and support their efforts with an open mind and positive responses.
