Warming up
As always, Lopa and a few others - Rathi, Shikha, and Kanika started playing some warm up games with the children. The kids had been waiting for us and were very excited and full of energy. The others set up the structure and sorted the material for each group.
Mask Making
After the warm up, the kids were divided into four groups. Each group had a facilitator and was given different kinds of material to work with. We started with introductions and actions. We wore our costumes and masks and got into character to show the kids what had to be done. Slowly they got a hang of it and chose their roles. Some wanted to be kings, some chose to be men with mustaches, snakes, trees, cats etc.
