A List Of Must-Watch Movies With The Family This Summer!

Its show time, folks!

We decided to send this post out because we know that watching movies as a family is a hot favorite during vacations.

Here is a list from the Mount Litera Zee School, which you can sample from, but before then, read on to find out how cinema can be a useful and beneficial tool of learning for children.

If books give detailed and vivid descriptions of almost everything in and about the world, consider movies to be a rapid montage of screenshots, which often encapsulate a whole lifetime in a handful of minutes.

Most attempt to give a message, some do, others partially.

The variety and diversity of cinema bouncing on air-waves are only as vast as your imagination allows it to be. And not everything out there is meant for a child’s prying eyes!

Therefore, the selection of the right viewing material for your children is a serious, but fun responsibility.

It makes it a whole lot easier if parents use movies as a learning medium.

Different movies carry specific messages which can produce a lasting impact in a child’s mind.

Apollo 13 underlined the values of teamwork. Remember The Titans showed us how prejudice and fear can be overcome with compassion and love. And Doubt, no doubt, made us realise that we must not judge others prematurely.

So, the next time you go out and watch a movie as a family, don’t forget to follow it up with a learning question. A simple “What did you learn?” or “What do you think?” will do.

You may find the resulting discussion to be an eye-opener about how well your child uses natural ability to learn and understand.

And if you are too concerned about the odd instance of a mad chase or a gunfight, perhaps you can use those symbols to drive home the importance of safety and security in a violent world.

The final word: Enjoy the movies with your kids. You’ll have a great time as long as you don’t forget the soda and popcorn!

But when you pick the flick, do ensure some mental nutrition for your children, along with the entertainment.

The following titles are screened for the students of Mount Litera Zee School.
