Hari Om Parents,
1. We started with chanting 3 Om's followed by prayers "Sahana Vavatu" followed by "Ekadantam Mahakayam" and "Gurur Brahma Gurus Vishnu"
2. Next we went around the room Recaping our Bal Vihar alphabets from last 2 weeks "A For Aspiration" and "B For Brotherhood", "C for Cleanliness",. "D for Daddy', "E for Enthusiasm", "F for friendship", "G for God', "H for Happy"
3. Lesson of the day : K for Kindness
a. Activity : All the kids made 2 flash cards with index cards and popsicle sticks (Happy Face and Sad Face)
b. Brainstorming session : We asked questions to the students based on 10 different scenarios on how kind remarks and/or unkind situations made them feel.
4 Games
a. Hot Potatoes : Kids enjoyed the game as they sang "Khate bhi ram kaho" bhajan. Everyone danced along, jumped and had a lot of fun. We will record the bhajan and send it next week.
b. Quiet Game : We played it by dropping shells and asked the kids to count the number of shells dropped, in their mind. We played this after a long time but the kids quietened and settled down.
5. Next we chanted the Bhagwat Gita verse 41, 42, 43 and 44 of Chapter 18 on page 21 with all the kids.
Here is the link for the same.

Meena and Pavithra
