Family Role Play Fun

 Once, the pursuit of Hindi story books landed me to the Storyweaver.org.in website. Rummaging through it, I chanced upon a story "Gulli ka gazab pitara". At that instant, I knew this had to be a part of my elezes(activities based on educative learning with zeal) with my daughter Zeel. And I am glad that this Role play activity is first of its kind  to engage in, as Zeel moves onto 2nd grade. Not to forget that it encompasses family and fun.

Pratham books is a storehouse of books. When you read "There's more to Storyweaver than just reading" you truly believe it. How otherwise, would I have discovered this Hindi book? Loads of English books have been translated to many regional languages.

Now, since the book is in digital form, I have taken the liberty to print it for my daughter, to get a touch, flip and read feel. I have always preferred physical books than the e-versions. There are no changes made. The print copy is-as version of the PDF and has the attribution pages as provided by them at the end of the story.

Let's get ready for a fun ride then!

## eleze# 11 Family Role Play Fun

# Material Used #
1) Storybook - "Gulli ka gazab pitara"
2) Props as per the story. You will figure out these from the story itself and the video at the end.

# The Activity #
1) Do the role play as per the story. It demands GULLI, DADA, CHACHA and DADI. Zeel is our GULLI, Zeel's DADI plays twin roles and I became CHACHI. I have attached a video that includes story book too. You can read or get a digital copy of the book here - https://storyweaver.org.in/stories/487-gulli-ka-gazab-pitara

It takes some efforts to set it up and execute. And the joy is in bounty. Zeel was thrilled with the magnet act, although reading hindi gets onto her nerves at times.:) 

It was a family fun time at home sweet home !!

Wishing the readers a fun-filled year ! Enjoy the play with your child!

Colors of my emotions

There are colors of my emotions Do you know? Like pearls in an ocean Do you know? O, how would you? You must look into my heart The acts it performs Reflect various shades of art Come, let's see This palette of colors You and I As we learn with joy. Does it ring the bell on which activity I am talking about? Colors indeed, but not discrete. Few days back, after the last Hindi matra activity, my brain was working around to decide what to take up next. When Zeel and I sat, I shared her my concern about not sure what to do next. She threw a couple of ideas, and in one such thought, happen to mention about making heart shaped chits (looking at her dress), picking the chit and going on treasure hunt for action words. Voila ! It struck a chord within me. Heart represents emotions, colors evoke emotions and the emotions drive actions...............Are you with me? Let's begin ! --------------------------------- ## eleze# 10 The colors of my emotions # Material Used # 1) Heart shaped ...

Seven berries

One day, my daughter Zeel asked why I don’t make EVS worksheets for her. So far, to make learning practice fun for her, I had created worksheets and hands-on activities for English, Hindi and Maths subjects. That’s how my blog site www.nesteleze.blogspot.com was born.  Her question made me thinking. And it was very true. Although I have been a Science student, somehow the EVS topics don’t interest me the way other subjects do, with regards to designing an activity or worksheet. So, in crafting something “different” as per Zeel’s demand, I had to motivate myself to design something for “EVS”. And that’s how SEVEN BERRIES was born. Centered on Zeel’s likes. The names of the friend berries are ingrained in her mind and heart, from the time I had been creating and reciting on the spot stories, more than a year back.  This work is at an infancy stage. So please do pardon me for anything that is not to your child’s liking or interest. But I am sure it won’t be a case!  Check o...

Eight. Elizabeth. Eleze.

Any connection do you see? Who is Elizabeth? Well, she will come into picture. Lets first talk about the beginning word of this writing piece - EIGHT. My daughter Zeel, turned eight recently. Is it a milestone? Hmm...I am not sure. But I do vividly remember her Life Skills teacher mentioning that kids at this age, in class two, want to achieve milestones. They want to make something, create a work by themselves. And, they will come to the parent, show it proudly, expecting an acknowledgement. As parents, we must pause whatever we are doing, look at the child and respond. Do not ignore.  So while she attempts to accomplish certain works (of art I believe, which is her interest area), a thought entered and sat in my mind. Firmly. At eight now, she, my daughter, should embark on the journey of reading children’s books/novels. Since the age of three, we have exposed her to stories. Reading to her not one, two but countless tales. Over the years, she has developed an ear for stories. An...
