Multiple Intelligence camp

Expose all the eight multiple intelligences: visual, musical, logical, social, verbal, intrapersonal, naturalist and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences of the child.

The whole idea is to make the child aware of the eight intelligences and slowly the child becomes conscious how he or she is uniquely intelligent.

Now only it gives a clear boost to the self esteem, but understanding one's intelligence is core to child being able to leverage his or her strengths in future.

What are the objectives of Intelligence camp?
To give a set of meaningful and enjoyable exposures to the child discover his own strengths to become confident. To also try to make the child aware that there are eight intelligences in each one of us, and also to start the process of discovering which are my strong intelligences – my pathways of success.

What will the program consist of and what kind of activities can I expect?
The program consists entirely of activities. The activities are open, which means each child works at his or her own level, and progresses from there. Since the activities are based on multiple intelligences, they will range from being based on musical instruments, making music, creating art, playing and using numbers and logic, using craft, clay and puppetry specially for stories and other projects, loads of social and team project work, using drama, body movement and skills, and effectively communicative language to express and explore ideas and thoughts.

We can give you an example – we do not tell in advance the actual activities that we will be doing on each day. The main reason for not telling you the activities in advance is that while we plan the session in advance – this plan itself is very open and what we do and how we do is quite dependent on the group of children. This dynamic customization of the activities is what makes us different from everybody else.
·             The idea is to appeal to the group's interest - rather than coming from a pre-fixed menu. Hence it makes sense that we tell you after the session, which activities were done and how were they done.
·             Hence what we do is after the session we post a session write up - on a daily basis - so that you come to know exactly the activities that was finally done.
·             The holiday program is to give a set of exciting and interesting exposures to children. There is no teaching - we use different kinds of mediums to appeal to different interests.

Here is an example activity:
Suppose we start a telling a story and stop in between. Now we ask children to
finish the story as per their wish. Once they finish their story, we ask them to put up a small puppet show of "their" version of the story
- they can make puppets, make a set, add music, add themselves into the show, and so on....

How will it benefit the child?
Gets exposed to all intelligences.
Gains confidence in interacting with people, in thinking and expressing.
Enjoys, and while having fun learn – specially learn in a different way.

How will it benefit me as parent?
Enjoys the holidays via meaningful experiences.
Is in an environment that is physically, mentally and emotionally safe and sensitive.
Be part of peer group that would enrich the child’s development.

How is geniekids special?
Geniekids works though the three principles of acceptance, openness, sensitivity. The underlying purpose being to empower the child to learn, do and accomplish.

What outcomes can I expect?
Such a small duration program could only be best seen as an set of exposures. However, we do expect that the child will enjoy “doing” and “interacting”.
