Bhavishya Yaan Updates – Diwali Camp

During the Diwali Holidays year after year at Bhavishyan Yaan schools the students have their Week long Diwali Camp. The Camp is held each day for 3hours for students from 5th to the 9th standard.

This year’s Camp is on Literature. It is being held from 23rd till the 31st of October. And to synergise with the festivity it has been named as “The Literature Festival with Folk tales around the World.”

Today at NMJ it was the 1st day of The Literature Festival.And in-fact it was a day of a warm up session. The day started with an action song followed by a quiz on the globe, oceans, continents and famous countries.

Thereafter it was explained to them what “Literature Festival” meant through an activity where students were divided into pairs and had to come out and narrate stories. The stories were from anywhere (books, cartoons, movies etc) and then the teacher related it to stories from across the world e.g. Cinderella, Goldilocks.

They were also shown videos of different places where the “Literature Festival” gets celebrated not just in India but also in other countries as well. The students played the games as dumb-charades with names of different stories and the “four corners.” The four corners being named after different continents. Children had a super enjoyable day and they actively participated.

During the course of the sessions they will travel and explore the world through folk and fairy tales. At the end of the Festival each child will have a passport filled with rich knowledge of different countries.

On the last day of the session the students will showcase their learning to an audience of students, teachers and Rotarians in the form of books created by them with skill and confidence of narrating stories using their imagination and expression by creating a new story around the same characters.
