How about a collage / chart competition, which can be hung in the school premises for educational purposes even after the event? This could be based on National Leaders, Patriotic themes, or just about the Animal Kingdom , etc., However, this may cost them money to buy material probably- we give potential participants money to buy materials? or we provide materials ourselves? Not sure how viable this is.

We will take your suggestions as guidelines and proceed. I feel giving small gifts in the competitions will improve children’s competitive spirit. Anil garu, it is really good idea to gift them seedlings and ask them to plant and take care. We will try to implement it. Before that we need to plant seeds into their minds saying importance of trees. We are in the process of that by taking regular classes regarding. One more reason is all the children in the school are from nearby slum. I have visited the slum two weeks back and I find no place to plant the trees, and even there is no place in school premises also. Santosh Garu, essay writing would be useful for 8th or 9th class students on Science topics. I agree with you. We are conducting essay writing for 5th class children on general topics. I have already given the two topics to the teachers (Nagaraju Garu and one Nandi foundation volunteer), to prepare the children accordingly. Given topics are 1. About INDIA (Which includes importance of 15th August) 2. about Uses of Trees (Environment) . My intention behind these topics is these are the topics each and every child should aware. Prasanthi garu, Regarding story writing and story telling, it is good one to improve children’s creativity and these types of competitions will definitely cultivate the reading habit. We will do that. While listing all the games, we have already sorted story telling and story writing along with essay writing. Since we have very less time (only 2 weekends) to conduct all the competitions for all the classes, some games are removed. Anyways we will plan for that if time permits. Thanks & Regards, Shilpa Pagadala, TMAD- Hyderabad. On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 7:26 PM, Prasanthi Uppalapati <prasanthi.uppalapat [email protected]> wrote: >Anil's suggestion is good. I agree.
