Silent movies are full of sound

Let's share with children great scenes of Charlie Chaplin's movie The Kid!

Scene #1: You know what streets we work today

Scene #2: Pancakes!

Scene #3: The fight

Scene #4: The doctor and the police

What do you think about these scenes?
What values are shown here?


Let's discuss with our students concepts such as love, friendship, sharing,  charity, poverty, children's rights...

Where do the man and the kid live?

Why does a woman help them? How? What does she give to most children? Does it make a change? 

 Why?/Why not?

Why is charity for some people a duty and for others a joy?

Are we really helping someone doing charity? Why?/Why not? Is it enough?

Why do the children start fighting?

Is the kid happy living with his father? Why?
