Student Mentoring

This year as an AmeriCorps member, I helped lead a student mentoring group. Our group consists of 10 elementary school students matched up with 10 high school students. I’m continually impressed with how much fun these students have with any activity I plan. One afternoon, we played pictionary as a time-filler. I’ve never seen a group of people have more fun than this group did. Every student was into the game, shouting out answers, laughing, and clapping. I really enjoy spending time with these energetic students. I try to plan a variety of fun activities for them, but it helps to know that they would have a great time if we just played pictionary every week!
