Chapter 19: Activities

Introduction

Chapter 19, Activities, is Act 5, the closing act of the Theatre unit in Bansuri–I. It is short and fun: children make a story from pictures, try a focus activity, and say goodbye to their guide Vidushaka until next year.

What's in this Chapter

Make Your Own Story:

- Combine the pictures given in the book to make your own story. You can use them in any order.

- "Let the story be as creative and unique as possible."

Focus Activity – Counting Balls in Circles:

1. Count the number of balls in each circle separately, starting from the outer circle.

2. Add them up.

3. Count them all together.

4. Are both numbers the same?

5. Compare your number with your friends'.

This uses the focus and alertness children practised in Act 1, since theatre needs full concentration.

Vidushaka's Goodbye:

- "Taking you through so many fun activities, I didn't realise we have come to the end of this year's work. But we have just started the journey!"

- He promises new journeys next year.

- His most important message: "There is no right or wrong answer here. All your ideas are awesome. Whatever you are doing in theatre, make sure you enjoy and have fun!"

- "SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, LITTLE STAR … NAMASTE!"

Looking Back at the Theatre Unit

The five acts built skills step by step:

Act 1 – Explore: alertness, focus and communicating without words.

Act 2 – Imagine: situations, object improvisation, and hearing vs listening.

Act 3 – Let's Create: role play with speech, and teamwork.

Act 4 – Look Around: observation, storytelling and India's theatre forms.

Act 5 – Activities: creative storytelling and focus.

Key Ideas

Pictures can be arranged in any order to make many different stories.

Counting in two ways, one circle at a time and all together, checks our focus and accuracy.

In theatre there are no wrong ideas; enjoyment matters most.

Words to Learn

Combine (जोड़ना): put together

Order (क्रम): the arrangement of things

Unique (अनोखा): one of a kind

Focus (ध्यान/एकाग्रता): full attention

Outer (बाहरी): on the outside

Compare (तुलना करना): check how things are alike or different

Journey (यात्रा): a trip; here, a learning path

Namaste (नमस्ते): a respectful greeting

Tips for Parents & Teachers

Cut pictures from old magazines and let the child arrange them into a story in different orders.

Draw circles with dots and play the counting game, then check the answers together.

Celebrate the end of the unit with a short class performance of favourite theatre games.

Remind children that every idea is welcome.

Common Mistakes

Using the pictures only in the printed order: any order is allowed, so be creative.

Rushing the counting and getting different totals: count slowly and carefully.

Worrying about "right answers" in theatre: all ideas are awesome.

💡 Key Learning Points
