THE TALE OF A FROG

The princess kissed the frog, he turned into a handsome prince and they lived happily ever after!!

Sounds very familiar right? Well this was the theme for the WHY to WOW session on the 27th of November,2010. THE TALE OF A FROG was indeed a very interesting, informative and exciting session for the kids!! The whole life cycle of a frog was conveyed to the children in the form of a dramatised story. Wondering who the characters were? Well none other than our own kids who were here for the session to learn, except for the frog - who represented himself!! Yes, we had two live frogs kept in water to demonstrate the behaviour of a frog. It was an enriching and a very inspiring experience to see the kids so involved in the learning process.The session concluded by showing the children the movements of a frog by letting it go back to its mommy!!

How I wish I also learnt Biology through stories??

This was the feedback received from one of our parents!! Very true indeed!!

WHY TO WOW ....!!

REaD @ Gokulam

OUT OF THE BOX REaD reaches to Gokulam residents, thanks to all the support and encouragement from our present members. Lot of demand and enquiries from various complexes prompted us to take the next step in our REaD program.
To start with, we initiated with Gokulam Apartments on KR road. It was an overwhelming response with six kids coming on the first day itself and showing so much zeal in LEARNING TO READ!!
Classes in Gokulam will be held every Monday and Wednesday between 5 and 6.30 pm

Outside Out of the Box

Guess who wanted us to do their fun event at their "Bring your kids to work day" on 23rd October, 2010??!!.........none other than Infosys. We had less than 4 days to come up with events for around 70 kids. It was a challenge! But at OBX we love challenges and we came up with 4 exciting events.

Diya Painting - This was the most popular activity of the day. I think every kid that came,painted a diya or two. There were such beautiful one's.

Story time - Sheela and Rajitha narrated stories that would glue you and me on the seats. Kids loved the part where the Rain Gods shower chocolates.

The Story Ends like this - We introduced this activity and had a great response. We have seen a lot of creative talent. Even young kids ages 4 and 5 with the help of their parents completed the stories.

Budding Entrepreneurs - This was the most challenging event. The kids were asked to name a product, design a logo and give a punch line to product. It got a lot of older kids to think Out of the Box.

Overall, it was a fantastic day. Kids had as much fun being part of the activities as we had making it for them.
