Leadership Training For Kids
1. Egg Transfer Working as a group, let the leader decide how best to pass an egg from one end to another. Coming up with creative ideas is a bonus. 2. Draw Me Let children draw themselves on a piece of paper and then present themselves as a project talking about their skills and dreams. 3. Listening Carefully Pair up kids as a speaker and a listener and let the speaker talk about his own life and family. You can quiz the listener around various aspects he spoke about and check how well he can recollect them. This will develop the listening skills which are important to become a good leader. 4. Lead the Blind Make a group of children. Each group will have a leader. Blindfold the group members of each team and the respective leaders of each team, who are not blindfolded, will have to lead the entire team to a safe spot using clear and precise commands from a distance. 5. Similarities and Differences Let children talk about what is similar between them and another person and what is different.
Leadership development training for kids
- Dr. Seuss 5. Vision A child who can see their outcome clearly is more likely to achieve their vision. Kids can be taught how to better visualize through reading or listening to the tales of past achievers. Read often to your child. Introduce your child to a world of successful people through books and movies that provide strong and memorable leadership lessons. Kids who are read to by their parents, and who are made to read from their early years, will greatly benefit in their adult years. Leaders are readers. And kids who read yearn to learn. They will not only have a better appreciation and love for reading, they will also read faster while committing more information to memory. 6. Persistence/Determination Provide your child with a strong foundation of personal pride. Kids are too often coddled when they should instead be encouraged to pick themselves up and "shake it off". When a child falls while learning to walk they instinctively cry because the fall was unexpected and the experience scared them.
