Near or Far to Swami
- Ask the Children to list the different activities that could be done using our hands.
- Ask them to categorise those activities into “good” and “not good” category.
- Write down each of these activities on small pieces of paper and fold the paper pieces. Drop all these pieces into a box and shuffle them well.
- Ask each of the children to pick one chit from the box.
- If the chit picked up by the child has a good activity, then ask the child to stand next to Swami’s Altar (or photograph) in the class.
- If the child picks a chit from the “not good” category, ask the child to stand on the other end of the room away from the Altar (or the photograph).
