Kudoz is about more than just fun - it's about learning! Each Kudoz experience contains these five ingredients:

Let's see some examples...

Soup Making Experience

recipe cards, pots, peeler

with Patrice

Do you like cooking?

Learning goals:

Soup Making Experience

I'm cooking my mother's recipes. So I ask Carl what

soups his mom cooked.

What I had got for the experience, fresh ingredients!

We looked at the cookbook together and decided which

soup to make.

In the end we layed out the vegetables so Carl could

take a photo.

I got Carl to chop his favourite veggies. He

stirred the pot.

I kept checking in with Carl, like asking what kind of stove he has at home.

Drumming Experience

I started out talking about listening to the soundscape

around us.

I had Owen and his mom listen to the world live on

headphones

I showed Owen how to stretch his hands for

drumming as a warm-up

Everyone took turns drumming together. Owen

took a video of his mom drumming.

I showed Owen some drum patterns and had him

drum along

I spoke about tempo and dynamics. Kept checking in

with Owen about which drums he wanted to try.

Remember the 5 learning ingredients?

Seeing, Touching, Smelling, Hearing

Making, Doing, Building

Learning and understanding new

information

Sharing personal stories, discussing

the activity

Documenting learning moments

Here's why

Sensory engagement is a

form of experiential learning

Making is a way of applying new

information, using body memory

Learning new information is key

for long term growth

Sharing stories brings significance to new knowledge

and skills

Recording sights and sounds helps

recall and reflection

Why Kudoz? Why learning?

What happens after an experience...

Each Ku-doer gets a reflection session where we use photos and other media to remember and discuss the experience. This process helps develop long term independent learning goals and self confidence.
