How it happened
The children went to their respective tables one by one and waited for the activity to begin. First, each child took a worksheet and a gluestick. The colored cutouts were kept in the middle on the table. Then they were given instructions on how to proceed with the activity. The facilitators also did the activity to make the process smoother for the children. The children were able to follow the instructions methodically and were able to stick the cutouts in their positions. They also helped each other in finding out the different cutouts and sticking those on the worksheet. After this activity was over, they went to Nikita didi to stick their work on the wall followed by the clean up.
