  • 5 characteristics of LTP
  • 4 principles for applying quality management system at home

Suggestions on how to organize

Organize a game of hopscotch to learn about HTQC:

  • Prepare 4 areas as destination points. Each destination has 10 cards explaining 10 contents (1 concept, 5 characteristics, 4 principles). And there is an area for groups to post their group's results. In the results area, the teacher pastes/writes the name of each content on an A0 paper:
  1. Concept.
  2. Happy.
  3. Meaningful.
  4. Actively participate.
  5. Social interaction.
  6. Many opportunities to experiment.
  7. Connect Learning through Play activities with learning content.
  8. Encourage your children's autonomy.
  9. Manage your children's learning effectively.
  10. Arrange a positive, open learning space.

>> When groups choose an explanation card for each content, they will paste it into the corresponding sections of the A0 paper.

  • 35-37 parents divided into 4 groups and lined up vertically (9-10 parents/1 group).
  • The teacher will read the question:
  1. What is Learning through Play?
  • Parents in the first row of each group will hop to their group's area, choosing the most suitable card to explain what Learning Through Play is all about. Quickly go to the result paste area, and paste it on the - CONCEPT section
  • Similarly, from question 2 to question 10, the teacher asked questions about the remaining 9 contents. Parents take turns in a row, hopscotching to the destination to choose an explanation card corresponding to the question about (2) Fun (3) Meaningful (4) Active participation (5) Interaction social (6)Many opportunities to experiment (7) Connect Learning through Play activities with learning content (8) Encourage children's autonomy (9) Manage children's learning effectively , (10) Arrange a positive, open learning space.
  • After asking all 10 questions, the teacher and 4 groups review the answers to the 10 questions. During the process of reviewing each content, teachers can further explain to parents the concept of CQC, characteristics of CQC, and the 4 principles of CQC at home.
  • If possible (with a computer and projector or TV), teachers invite parents to watch a video clip introducing HTQC.

The group with the most correct answers will receive a small gift.

(Refer to preparation documents in Appendix 3).

  • The teacher concludes by introducing some LTP activities that parents can organize at home with their children, perhaps using Poster No. 2.
  • Groups listen and compare their group's results, checking the correct results.

  • The teacher reads each activity in turn and parents should support the teacher when applying the CTQC system (Content of the activities - refer to Appendix 5).
  • Parents listen to each activity and individually confirm their opinion by moving to the corner with the "AGREE" or "DISAGREE" sign posted.
