Mystery teaching syllabus is one of ours school syllabus; the purpose is let children to descry about the mystery THING. More they are descry, more advantages for the kids. The brains can work more. I am purposely put “Thing” as a teaching material into yellow pail with top cover without any knowledge from teachers and children. Before I am carrying out this activity, I have been asking one of the teacher put hers hand into the pail, and feel about it bodily form. Either it skin is smooth or roughness. The first re action for my teacher I was scared to put in hers hand into the pail. These is the first reaction for timid people, for those are fearless people sure they are going to try it.
This morning, I bring out the pail with top cover and ask to all little angels what kind the THING I have been putting in? Of course only I and the previous experience teacher on know what it is. Others teacher and little angels are cozenage up by me. Firstly when I throw to them 5W1H questionnaire, asked them to guess what are the thing inside the pail? First answer there are given to me was don’t. And certain said KING CRAB, because previous I am brought big KING CRAB let them to guess. When I called who want to volunteer for this guess game? No one is voluntary! So, I need to call one of the teachers to become tester. When I ask for teachers to voluntary? No one is voluntary. So, I have to force myself to call teacher Munes out. When teacher Munes put hers hand into the pail with afraid. I think she might touch the round shape and smooth skin with a tail. I requested teacher Munes to descry what she touches just now? Teacher Munes descried “it is round shape, smooth skin and have a tail”. Children are starting to make noise and chat within their friends on this description and I am calling children to come out. One of the volunteer (5 years old child), before he put his hand in, he asked me whether IT can bite him or not? I told him no biting than he put his hand in. he said it is round and smooth. Than what is it? I asked, he said with louder, it is BALL. I asked for another voluntary, right now a few of children started to come out after the 5 years old child are tried just now. Everybody said it is a BALL.
Finally when I unclose the riddle, take out the cover and show to them, everyone is excited and laughing, shouted with malay word ‘Alamak’. The mystery teaching aid is a big WATERMELON. I am promised to them next week I would bring other material let them to guess again and they are excited on this mystery games.
