In The Wrong Age

Seeing the glasses through rose-coloured glasses


Young children who need glasses are sometimes ashamed to wear them in their kindergarten. The kindergarten teacher Limor Shlomi has a method to overcome this embarrassment: Glasses Party.
 
At the Glasses Party conducted by Limor all the kindergarten children participate in activities of movement and creation, and thus strengthen the confidence of the bespectacled child.

For example, to let the children see how well the celebrating child sees with his or her glasses, Limor puts them all in a circle around the child: They throw him or her a ball, he or she catches it and throws it to them again and again. If the child is sporty, Limor gives the other kids more than one ball to throw at him, so he or she should respond and return the balls quickly.

Other activity in the Glasses Party is creating "glasses" by all the children from small metal rings and pipe cleaners: They wrap around each ring a pipe cleaner and connect the two rings by a small piece of pipe cleaner. Then - all the kids wear their "glasses".

The Glasses Party guest of honor is an optician, who conducts a vision test for all the children, and usually find among them some new candidates for a future Glasses Party...
