Values:

Patience
Determination
Materials Required:
Nil
No. of children:
15
How to Play:
The Guru invites 4 children in front of the class.
She asks the rest of the class to come one by one near the 4 children and try to disturb them, only through actions/mimicry. They are not supposed to utter any words.
During that process the 4 children should be looking straight at the child who is trying to tempt them. They should not laugh or even smile while they are being disturbed but remain serious.
Whoever is unable to control himself and breaks the silence, is out of the game.
The child who is able to control himself till the end is the winner.
Once the 4 children are out, then the second set of 4 children replace them.
Rest of the children come to them one by one and the activity continues in the same manner till time permits.
Tips to gurus:
She should impress upon the children, the importance of keeping calm by not reacting to provocative situations. This will help prevent the situation from taking a worse turn. (Eg. road rage, peer group quarrels etc.)
