Sesame Street"
International Central Institute for Youth- and Educational Televizion, IZI Special english Issue No. 16/2003/1: "Childrens's Fantasies and Television" Jan-Uwe Rogge Fantasy, emotion and cognition in Germany's "Sesame Street" Notes on the framework stories Children have a magical-fantastical interpretation of reality. They like simple, clear stories featuring fairy-tale elements that they can occupy with their imagination. A reception study on Sesamstrasse in Germany discovered this particularly in the case of the Muppet stories and the character Pepe. In several film inserts the kids felt they had not been taken seriously, however. 1. Max meets Ernie and Bert Max, four and a half, comes to the counselling session with his mother. She seems rather annoyed. Max is excellent at causing his parents chaos at home. Mother (annoyed): "The worst thing is that he says it is not him who makes a mess but Ernie and Bert, who have come to visit him." She looks at me: "Just imagine, Ernie and Bert! He's crazy!" Max: "Not Ernie and Bert, only Ernie, Mum, only Ernie!" Mother: "Stop it!" I intervene and ask Max: "What happens then?" Max (smiling): "They come, pull everything out of the boxes and then disappear without tidying up!" Mother: "Max, please! Stop this nonsense!" Max: "But you say that the one who makes a mess has to tidy up! Only Ernie doesn't bother! He just clears off!" Mother in a shrill voice: "Max! Stop telling stories!" I turn to Max and ask him: "Does that make you angry?" Max nods. "Does that annoy you?" I dig deeper: "Why don't you say anything?" He looks at me, confused. -

In-School Mentoring Activity Manual
In-School Mentoring Activity Manual Introducing the Manual and the value of Play Welcome to the In-School Mentoring Program. We hope you are as excited as we are about participating in a program designed to help boost kids’ self-confidence. Sometimes mentors and mentees can get stumped for activities they can do together in one hour. This manual serves as a resource guide. Here you will find new activities, games and craft ideas. Also provided are tried and true hints and advice from current mentors in the field. General information on children’s stages of development is included. This background information may help you to chose a more accurate game to play with your mentee based on his/her skill level, or may remind you of the outside factors your mentee is dealing with at his/her age. Mentors often ask “How does play activity benefit mentees?” Here is a brief response on the value of play… “On the playground of life, game playing equips each of us with the “rules of the game.” As youngsters, games taught us how to work together, to accommodate, and to help one another. Through playful moments, children can act out real-life situations. In imagined contexts, they can learn how to solve problems, look for options, and resolve conflicts. By winning or losing at games, children experience the real world but in less harsh fashion. Children learn about their environment and how to relate to other children, as well as grown-ups. They learn about healthy competition and about trying to do their best. -
