Sept 19, 2021 - Grade 1 (Sunday PM)

 

We started the class with 3 times of Hari Om chanting  followed by the recitation of Sahana Vavathu shloka

We spoke a little bit on the shlokas that we were going to recite every week and briefly on their significance.

We recited the 4 shlokas and had the kids follow us

Shukhlam

Saraswathi namastubhyam

Guru Brahma

Budhirbalam

 

Since it was our first class we introduced ourselves.

We asked the children to talk about themselves. Their names, grades, their favorite food, games etc.

To make it more interesting we combined it with a game of rolling wheel and whose ever name the wheel stopped on had to talk about themself.

 

Since there were two festivals Ganesh Chathurthi and Janmashtami that were around the time that classes started, we talked about both the Gods and played videos that had stories of their respective births.

 

We then played games that quizzed the kids on the characters and the stories that they learnt.

 

We introduced the kids to the epic Ramayana and the main characters. We made them recite

Srirama rama ramethi shloka.

 

The following videos and games were played during the class.
