In the midst of mid-term exams, the English Club at SMA 11 Padang stayed after school for a very special meeting. Fulbright ETA Sophia Lopresti and her English Club were thrilled to welcome Fulbright ETA Alex Lopez-Perez from MAN 2 Bukkittinggi and Fulbright ETA Peter Bensen from MAN 1 Payakumbuh!

They started with the Hokey Pokey, led enthusiastically by ETA Peter. Everyone was smiling and giggling during this classic and silly song, so it was the perfect way to start their activities. Then they played a lively game of charades with ETA Alex leading one team and ETA Peter leading the other. The best part was when each team wrote the prompts for the other team in the next round. Students acted out everything from daily activities to superhero characters!

After that, everyone went for some cool drinks at Yangi beach cafe across the street from the school. The ETAs and students had more time to chat while enjoying the breeze and view of the ocean. They even saw some fisherman pulling their daily catch in!
