Nursery/Preparatory/Kindergarten – Any Nursery Rhyme

For young children, reciting nursery rhymes helps build language skills, memory, and rhythm.

In this category, children can choose any popular nursery rhyme they enjoy, such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” or “Humpty Dumpty.” By reciting these rhymes, they practice pronunciation, intonation, and expression. It also gives them a chance to show creativity through gestures, simple props, or costumes. Nursery rhymes often have simple messages about friendship, sharing, or curiosity, making them relatable and fun for this age group.

Grade 1-3 – My Role Model

In these early years, children often look up to family members, teachers, or popular figures like athletes, scientists, or even fictional characters.

In this category, students can talk about someone they admire, like a parent, teacher, famous leader, or hero from a story. They can share reasons why they look up to this person: maybe because of their kindness, bravery, intelligence, or determination. For example, a child might say, “My role model is my mom because she always helps others” or “I admire Albert Einstein because he was very curious and never gave up.” This topic helps students express gratitude, learn to set positive goals, and understand the values they want to embody.

Grade 4-6 – The Future of Technology

This age group is curious about gadgets and often has a strong imagination about the future.

In this category, students can explore how technology might shape the future. They could discuss advancements in areas such as robotics, space exploration, AI (artificial intelligence), and environmental technology. For example, students could imagine future inventions like flying cars, smart robots helping with chores, or eco-friendly machines to reduce pollution. They might also talk about how technology could make life easier, connect people around the world, or even protect the planet. This theme helps students think creatively, consider the impact of innovation, and recognize both the opportunities and challenges that technology can bring.

Grade 7-9 – Reading in the Digital Age

As students start using digital devices more frequently, this topic encourages reflection on the role of reading and books.

For this age group, students can discuss how reading has evolved in the digital world. They could compare traditional books to e-books and audiobooks, exploring the advantages and challenges of each. For example, some might say that digital formats allow them to carry many books at once or access information quickly, while others might argue that printed books provide a distraction-free experience. They can also discuss how digital platforms like social media and news apps influence the way people read and access information. This theme encourages students to consider how reading habits affect learning, focus, and imagination in an era of constant connectivity.

Grade 10-12 – Learning from Failures

At this stage, students face academic and personal challenges, making this a meaningful topic for personal growth.

For high school students, this theme offers a chance to reflect on the importance of resilience and perseverance. They could share personal experiences of setbacks in academics, sports, friendships, or other areas, focusing on how those challenges taught them valuable lessons. For example, a student might talk about failing an exam and learning to study more effectively or not making a sports team and working harder to improve. They could also discuss famous figures, such as Thomas Edison or JK Rowling, who faced numerous rejections before succeeding. This theme helps students see failure not as an endpoint but as a stepping stone toward growth and success, fostering a mindset of continuous improvement and resilience.
