Songkran Activity Nights!

Songkran, or the Thai New Year is one of the biggest holidays in Thailand and so, last week, GVI Ao Luk decided to cancel classes and instead host students for activities and games on base. On Tuesday and Thursday evening, we invited students and friends to participate in two nights of fun and games in order to practice their English.

The first night’s theme was food, which is always a hit! We played Pictionary, had word searches, face painting, fruit feel boxes, and taste tests. The most popular station was a booth where students were able to make their own tuna and egg salad sandwiches which they then ate! A relay game involving apple bobbing and carrots on a string was also incredibly popular and fun and left all of its participants with wet t-shirts and faces!

The second evening’s activities were fashion themed. In addition to Pictionary, word searches and face painting we had a dressing-up relay where students raced to put on silly clothing from our dress-up box! Cross-dressing was also encouraged. Overall, our two activities evenings were a hit for all ages and a fun way to practice English outside of the classroom!
