Kids enjoyed the summer heat this year with the colourful and vibrant event – Telekids Summer Carnival 2016. The event saw many wonderful fun-filled activities. Below is a list of activities that the kids were involved in with a short description about the event:
- Dance:
Learning new moves and making new friends seems to be the most delightful aspect of this event according to Bhavini Garg, a class VI student of Modern High. She recalled of the laughter whenever she or any one of the fellow participants would collide and fall while learning a new move or step. The event was mainly about matching steps to the Latino-beat and was a popular choice for many of them.
- Craft & Creation:
According to Jashodhara Sarkar, class VII student of Mahadevi Birla World Academy, it was a brand new experience for her as she had never tried T-shirt Painting. But now she is eager to try her hand at this newly learnt creative branch. In Fact it was a great event which saw many small school kids take up their paint brush and give shape to their own colorful world. Quirky patterns and designing pretty wall hangings gave the kids huge joy.
- Magic:
Teach children how to weave a magic trick with the daily stuff found at homes and you would find yourself at a full house of magic show. In fact, not only kids, even adults would love to learn how to make a pen vanish or fill a glass with water without touching it and that’s exactly what the magic workshop was about. It was a fun session and very interesting according to Gautam Gaurisaria, a clas VIII student of Frank Anthony Public School.
- Origami:
The origami workshop gave A4 sheets to students and some glue and then taught them inside an hour how to make neat little animal shapes from nothing but a mere sheet of paper. Skeptical at first, the students soon learnt the art and were elated as was evident from the smile of class VII student Shakina Khatoon of The Park English School who was super happy to have been able to attend the workshop
