Childrens day at Mathru

Since it was childrens day kids were taken to play ground to play. Kids were holding each others hands while walking.We conducted various games related to touch and sound.

Games conducted:

 In and out:  Kids were made to stand in a circle. When a person calls in, kids had to jump inside the circle and when a person calls out,kids had to jump outside the circle.

Clap:  When three clap sounds were made kids had to jump inside the cicle. For single clap sound,kids had to jump standing in their place once.For other clap sounds kids had to repeat the sound.When a person tells move kids had to raise their hands.If a person tells some other words they have to remain in the same place.

Sound: Kids had to repeat the sounds made by a person.

Opposite: When a person tells left, kids had to raise their right hand.When a person tells right,kids had to raise their left hand. When a person tells up, kids had to keep their hands down and when a person tells down,kids had to raise their hands up.

Dog and the bone: one person will be making sound with bottle in the centre. Partially and totally blind were mixed and made into separate groups where partially blind was numbered from 1 to 5 and totally blind were numbered from 6 to 10.When a number is called, person assigned to that number from each team has to come and grab the bottle listening to bottle sound. One who grabs the bottle, that team gets a point.

Observations:

It was very hot but kids were walking bare footed to get the feel of ground and objects as they walk. They responded and enjoyed  more in sound and touch games.While playing dog and the bone, blind students could go towards the direction of the bottle to grab it by listening to the sound of the bottle made by a person.Kids were asked to participate in running race in which not all kids succeeded. Few felt inconvenient in running, few were inconvinient  to run in same direction as the rest and they were running in wrong directions.Completely blind kids always hold hands of other kids who is either partially blind or fully blind.I saw few blind kids who were sitting in a group and singing.
