For the littlest ones, you could think of making a chart by gluing flags (which are distributed for pinning up on shirts) on a map of India. You could draw the map of India on a big piece of paper. Or you could use a big cardboard from a cardboard box, if available.
If you are warming up to any of these ideas, we could discuss these among the group taking part in this particular activity, instead of sending messages to everyone in the group. As for the contribution you might want to make towards prizes, use them for something that is useful collectively. May be sports goods for the school or books for school library or art supplies etc. Please let me know if my ideas are even applicable.
