MELA

Asawari Wrote: On the last day of Success Saturday (28/2/09) we had a mela. All the children of success saturday were together putting 5 stalls. Each stall had 2 activities to do. These activities were for the parents to do.

How we divided: Each aunty divided their own children equally. Then the cubs, cute cubs and kittens choose which Lion team do they want t be in. Each group got one aunty for help. We named our group by animal names. My group name was Deer.

How we planned: We decided which 2 strengths we want to put up in our stalls. My group choose Open-Minded and Responsibility. Our anuty was Meenakshi aunty. She told u sour activities. We then sat down and made a list of things we ned to do. We made posters for our stalls. We decided who will do what. My responsibilu was to tell the parenst what to do. I had chooses Open Minded activity. We decorated our stall with streamers.

How to do teh Open-Minded activity: We choose Paint your Zebra as the name of my activity. Twinkling stars for the other activity.

  1. You will be given a Zebra picture to apint.
  2. You have 4 tools - paint brush, tooth brush, cotton and ear bud. You can choose your tool.
  3. In a basket there are chits. You pick one chit - the chit will say - MOuth, Toes, Knee or Two fingers (no thumb). You have to paint that way. If you really donot want to paint that way you can paint normally.
  4. You even have 4 colurs to choose - yellow, blue, black and red
  5. After you finish you get a badge

It was fun. Many parents tried difefrent tools and even tried what thier chit said. Ther were being open-minded.
