Read up on some of the types of activities offered in a Professor Puffin program.

  This challenging activity will have students enhance their observation skills by attempting to duplicate the details of a simple drawing. Students are presented with an image to study for a limited time and then attempt to recreate this drawing themselves.  This activity promotes fine motor skills and attention to detail, inspiring students to observe closely and draw with precision.

 Memory master is an educational activity where students sharpen their skills by studying and recalling details from various pictures. In each round images are presented for a limited time, after which students answer questions about the details that they observed. This game fosters attention to detail and enhances memory retention in a fun and engaging way. 

  Students must use their observational skills and critical thinking to identify the mystery image. As images get progressively more difficult, students will need to work with their teammates to determine what they are looking at before the timer runs out. 

 This engaging and exciting trivia game uses light up buzzers to build excitement and covers topics from human biology to Canadian geography to outer space and everything in between. Questions are rotated between age groups to encourage participation from all students. This activity is designed to be both entertaining and educational. 

 In this challenge, students are given a theme, and working in a team, they must come up with as many answers that fit the theme as they can. This activity encourages cooperation, creativity and outside the box thinking. 

 Students develop their logical thinking and sequencing skills by arranging items in a correct order according to a given category. This activity will cover a wide range of categories and encourages a better understanding of order and progression. It even has some humour included for good measure. 

   This activity will encourage students to form social connections as they are asked to guess how classmates have answered interesting questions. This not only encourages students to learn about their classmates, but it promotes communication and empathy as they try to consider others’ points of view. This challenge can also serve to stimulate conversation and foster new friendships.

  Listening and comprehension are put to the test in this engaging activity. In each round students listen to captivating short stories with imaginative plots. Afterwards they answer fun and challenging questions about the stories they have just heard. Storyscape promotes active listening, critical thinking and a love of storytelling. This type of challenge makes learning an adventure.

 We are always working hard to expand our growing repertoire of learning activities. New activities are consistently developed and tested in order to ensure maximum engagement and learning potential. We welcome feedback from students and instructors and use that information to improve the program.
