RADIANT THINKING

(BALVIKAS CLASS ACTIVITY FOR DEEPAVALI)

The guru gives a topic ‘DEEPAVALI’ to the students by writing it in the centre of the board, and speaking it aloud.

Ask the students to say words related to topic. Eg. light, Krishna, thoran, new clothes, oil bath, Narakashura, Sathyabama, Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Ravana, Lakshmi Pooja, etc., Write the words on the board and in their notebooks (please, do not put numbers, or try to organise the words). There is no limit to what and how many words come up!!!

Note: Related words come from the students not from the guru. If the guru doesn’t find connection between the topic and a word given by a child, ask him/her “why” he/she feels that word is related instead of saying “no”.
