WordPlay – The Giving Tree and Other Stories
In yesterday’s WordPlay session, children enjoyed listening to the unconditional love between the boy and the tree. We discussed some big questions: What is love? What makes a good friend? Is it possible to do something for others without expecting anything in return? Can we all grow up to be generous like the giving tree?
SPEECHCRAFT
Last class we had a ‘Just a minute’ session on random topics to train students to speak spontaneously.This will continue in the upcoming sessions. This is to improve their impromptu speaking skills.Then we had debate sessions on the topics assigned to the teams. SDGs were introduced to them as these could be used in speeches and debates. The trainer told them in which all ways the topics could be presented through the usage of certain concepts,current affairs and anecdotes. She also introduced the way they could use their existing knowledge and the information they get from different sources to prepare better speeches. Finally, the participants were given a topic for elocution for next class along with the format in which it needs to be presented.
‘Storytelling for kids of Attinkuzhy’
Story-telling sessions are integral to education as that is the best way to bring children closer to books. Schoolkutti team conducted a storytelling session for the children of Attinkuzhi residential area yesterday, most of them studying in Government schools. This is all part of a movement towards inculcating a reading habit among children.
It gave us immense joy and satisfaction to notice that children participated well in all the activities and were totally absorbed in the stories. It was a whole new world for them. Thanks to the Kidzee Attinkuzhy team for organizing the event well.
Speech Craft
It’s never too early to learn how to speak effectively and with confidence. At the public speaking workshop for children that was kicked off on Saturday at Schoolkutti, Vellayambalam, interesting techniques on speech crafting were passed on to the children.
All the participants enjoyed the session and are looking forward to attending the next one.
KIDDO (Season.3)
Schoolkutti team had a great time sharing stories and songs with children at the KIDDO (Season.3) program organized by Natana for the kids of Technopark employees(Phase.1, 2 &3). For one hour, the other-wise naughty little ones, and their parents, sat spell-bound listening to some fantastic stories narrating by Saranya.
It was so heartening to see kids dancing and singing in full excitment. Such fun…towards the end, none of the kids wanted to leave!!

Scrabble Workshop
It was scrabble time at Schoolkutti this weekend. It wasn’t all about spellings. There was competition. There was teamwork. There was even math, and yes, there was plenty of fun too. The bubbly little ones were excited to look up new words, challenge their peers and simply play around with words and letters.
We loved the fact that children were learning without realizing it. Kudos to the wonderful coach Saranya for her patience, enthusiasm and energy.
‘Jungle Fun Kids Yoga Storytime’
Some fantastic children’s books came to life with fun yoga at YogaPlus Vazhuthacaud last saturday. Schoolkutti and YogaPlus teams collaborated beautifully bringing together imagination and creativity through storytelling and movement. It was so wonderful watching the energetic little ones living the story, flowing from one Yoga pose to another. As kids are easily drawn to animals, and yoga includes dozens of animal poses, this is a sure-fire way to capture a child’s attention and lead a practice in a fun and light-hearted way. We also had some interesting games and also celebrated the third anniversary of YogaPlus with some yummy cake.
