Kannada Play Day held on 02/20/2016

Well, it was another good session on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! 

There were only 4 kids at Senior session. So, we decided to play some games instead of taking a quiz! One of the games we played was to give instructions in Kannada to the other team member who is blind-folded to find a hidden fruit in the room. The team that finds the fruit in the shortest time wins. They could only use - ಬಲಗಡೆ, ಎಡಗಡೆ, ಮುಂದೆ, ಹಿಂದೆ, ತಿರುಗು, and ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ (step). 

Of course, the other one was - yes again - the numbers game. The kids have to say the number in Kannada when their turn comes. These were the rules - 

• when their turn comes, if the number happens to be divisible by 3, they have to say 'ರಾಮ'. 
• if the number is divisible by 5, they have to say 'ಕೃಷ್ಣ'. 
• if the number is divisible by both. then they have to 'ರಾಮ ಕೃಷ್ಣ'.    

They enjoyed these games. We also learnt concept of  'ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲಿಗೆ'. We reviewed  ಷಷ್ಠೀ ವಿಭಕ್ತಿ: (ಮನೆ + ಅ = ಮನೆಯ). Next week's quiz is mostly based on these concepts. We spent some time enacting how to greet a guest when he or she comes to our house. Here is the link to the presentation. 

At Junior session, we had almost a full house! Since we are following a lesson plan, you can get an idea of what we did by reading the file here . At the end, we played 'ನದಿ ದಡ'. 

One last thing for parents of juniors. If you have recorded a video, you can upload to the blog here. Thanks to Shamala for posting the first video of Nikki saying a few sentences about ಕರಿಬೇವು.  

That is all for this week. See you all next Saturday.Have a great week!
