Materials Required:
Cards of different religions and 5 or 6 soap boxes, a wooden board
Preparatory Work for the Guru:
- Different cards with information about major religions are made or collected (Example: Name of the religion, founder, holy book, festivals, teachings, holy places, important places of worship etc.,)
- On one board 5 or 6 boxes (empty soap boxes may be used) with different symbols of respective religions are stuck as if they are post boxes.
How to play
- The Guru can divide the children into 2 or 3 groups.
- All the cards must be shuffled and given to one group.
- The children should be spared 2-3 minutes to think, depending on the number of cards provided to the group.
- The children of that group must post the cards in the proper boxes.
- After the given time it must be checked whether they have posted the cards correctly and marks can be awarded for each correct posting.
- All the groups can try one after another. Then the group with maximum marks will be the winner.
Variations:
- One box with Prashanti emblem – essence of all religions – can also be kept.
- The children will post the cards having festivals celebrated at Puttaparthi (Easwaramma day, Shivarathri, Aashadi Ekadasi etc.,)
