Sports Recreation
Recreation is the activities of individuals to evaluate their spare time; activities that provide personal satisfaction. Sportive recreation, on the other hand, means using sport for pleasure and entertainment and dealing with different fields of sport. Most often, children are interested in sports fields, where they are guided by their parents. However, with sportive recreation activities, children are subjected to different sports branches; they can find the opportunity to progress in their field of interest and enjoyment. In addition, with these activities, children learn to enjoy sports; they form the infrastructure for a healthy life. Gifted children feel more comfortable in mental activities than in physical activities. The reason for this is that gifted children have a developmental pattern called asynchronous development; mental development comes first and physical development comes behind mental development.Gifted children who have high mental standards do not show much interest in sports activities because they think that they cannot reach these standards physically. This may cause them to determine a sedentary lifestyle and gain weight over time. In this workshop, many sports branches such as foot tennis, petanga, swimming, volleyball and basketball were brought together with children; balance-coordination, ability to act together with the group, decision-making and risk-taking skills will be emphasized, and children will be encouraged to have fun and love sports by throwing their energy away.
Robotics
With the robotics workshop, students are basically guided to think and learn. During the training period specified in the workshop, students will be informed about the parts and usage areas of robots, and then an infrastructure will be created for this area. Today, robots, which have become more influential especially in recent years, and even appear among the active elements of the future, have become one of the concepts that everyone, especially children, is curious about. Thanks to the technologies available in our workshop, children will be able to learn by seeing and having fun that the concepts they imagine in a technological sense can actually come true, how the robots that most children can think of abstractly until today are made, their production processes and how they are programmed. In the robotics lesson, where our students will enjoy, the robot will be defined, the importance of robotics will be discussed, many information such as where robots are used in the world and robot types are given, and the aim of the workshop is to equip students with robotics and make a difference among their peers. Within the scope of the course, ready-made sets or ardunio are used in line with the readiness of the students. The majority of gifted children are children who think analytically, are interested in technology and have the potential to create. In this workshop, by giving both hardware and software information about robots; It is aimed to increase the interest and knowledge of children in science and technology.
Drama
Drama is the expression of a thought with body language, movement and movement. In other words, drama; It is an education method that enables people to develop versatilely by putting themselves in the shoes of others, to take an active role in education and training, to express themselves, to increase their desire and desire for research, to be creative and to perceive life in a multi-dimensional way. Drama is one of the most effective educational methods in terms of 'learning by doing'. In this workshop where educational and creative drama are used together; warming and relaxation activities, pantomime and role playing, improvisation, formation and evaluation stages are followed respectively. As gifted children's IQ increases, they experience difficulties in social relations; for this reason, this group often chooses to isolate itself from society. In this workshop, children will be provided with a comfortable environment through drama activities, and awareness will be raised on their ability to recognize emotions, look at events from a different perspective, empathize, and effective communication skills.
Fun Science
Only those who can perceive the world like a scientist and think about things can contribute to the world. Perceiving the world like a scientist requires advanced scientific research skills as well as having basic science knowledge. One of the most important characteristics of gifted children is that they are curious and ask endless questions about the universe, life and living things. Why are clouds white, do jellyfish have brains, do all living things have the same heart, why do we dream? Etc. In order to satisfy the children's curiosity and to reach the answers to the questions; from which source, in what order and how to research; It requires knowledge of subjects such as which methods to apply for which experiment. In this workshop, where physics, chemistry and biology experiments and the most entertaining side of science are presented, scientific research and scientific process skills of children are also developed.
Creative Thinking
Strategic thinking is necessary to foresee the future, to take the necessary steps now, to create a vision for the future. According to a study, only three out of 10 professionals can think strategically. However, strategic thinking is necessary for the emergence of a creative and innovative planning. Strategic thinking is a skill that can be developed and gained as a result of difficult decisions and difficult experiences. Gifted children are usually quite good at strategizing because their thinking skills develop early. However, the child's strategic thinking ability can be further improved by informing the child about the components of this skill, giving the child responsibility, and providing the child with experience in forming a strategy. For this reason, in this workshop, children's attitudes and behaviors such as strategy development, planning, reasoning, attention and concentration, digesting defeat, and decision-making will be developed mostly through chess and intelligence games.
Rhythm and Music
In today's conditions, the subject of educating children through art is one of the important educational ways, due to the advantages of technology as well as the disadvantages that have entered our lives. The educational functions of music include all musical learning-teaching activities, the planning, arrangement and organization of these activities, and the structure and structure of all these activities that ensure the regular, healthy, consistent, effective, productive and beneficial development of the individual, social, cultural and economic functions of music. covers operations. Through the rhythm and music workshop, besides the development of the student's listening skills, skills such as attention, following directions, collaborative work, planning, organization and creation are developed. Addressing more than one sense organ, activities that activate both the left brain and the right brain (such as removing the rhythm while reading notes) are relaxing and fun for gifted children with high mental preoccupation. In this workshop, students, who are subjected to rhythm studies based on general rhythm studies, are introduced to different instruments such as metallophone and xephone, and they are supported to gain artistic pleasure. Being able to understand and extract the given rhythm and play a new musical instrument will contribute to the cognitive, emotional and psychomotor development of students. In our Rhythm and Music workshop, students; By applying the musical knowledge they have gained by taking basic music education on the instrument, they will accompany the songs with the instrument, make music as a group, and develop their aesthetic aspects by gaining the habit of listening to music.
