Holiday Program IBM Pune Day 4

Today everybody was exited to begin the practice for the show to be put up for the parents. Immediately after the meditation, we started practicing for the play. The whole group had many suggestions for the play and we incorporated most of the ideas.


While practicing, the kids themselves felt the need of sets and props for the show and we got into making the sets. The kids enthusiastically used the dupattas, crape papers, newspapers, etc available and freaked out on the celotape to make their props. Even the youngest made dens, trees with branches and nests, fruits, pond with fish, and the elder ones made elaborate dancing ground for the peacocks, leaf for the frog and a honey pot with spoons . I too enjoyed the whole process as I had never experienced anything like this before. In the whole process, all of us even forgot to take a snacks break.


Post lunch, we again got into practice again, this time with some confusion though. We had to call for circle time and everybody agreed to be careful with the sets and with everybody else. We also did a round of the dance, this time with the music loud and clear on the speakers.


The kids after the snacks break got into making bags for their cards, puppets, etc. we again did a lsat and final practice and eagerly waited for the parents to come.

The parents came on time and we all enjoyed the “show” a lot. The kids did the dance twice and everybody had a blast.


The camp as they called it, ended with the parents feeling proud of their kids, and the kids feeling good about themselves. The parents also bid us farewell not forgetting to tell us to come again in the summer vacation with yet another programme.
