Hari Om Game

We played the Hari Om game, where kids to the opposite of what I do.

I say Hari Om softly, children say Hari Om loudly.

I say Hari Om Loudly, children say it softly.

All kids got it all right today. Opposite game was lots of FUN.

Yoga

All kids had a lot of fun doing the Hanuman Yoga.

We pretended that we were all Hanuman crossing the mighty ocean to get to Lanka. We stretched our hands above our head, our legs hip width apart and rotated our arms and shoulders.
We then kneeled like Hanuman (one knee on the floor and other foot down) and pretended to carry the mountain and fly to save Lakshmana. We sang "Jai Bajaranga Bali, off he goes"
We twisted and turned to the Hokey Pokey Hanuman Song.

Who Is Hanuman?

Today, we talked about Hanuman. He is the god with the monkey face. His mother's name is Anjani and his father's name is Kesari. He is Vayu Putra. He carries a gada.

Hanuman is so strong and brave and always doing Rama's work. Hanuman always did what Shri Rama loved. Rama was sad when he lost mother Sita, so Hanuman went to go find her because Hanuman always did what Shri Rama loved. When Lakshman got sick, Hanuman went quickly to get the medicine because Hanuman always did what Shri Rama loved.

Hanuman LOVES Lord Rama. Hanuman LOVES Sita Mata.

Activity - We are all Messengers of Shri Ram

Concentration Game - "To deliver a message, we have to concentrate and then remember the message" Kids repeated all the action I did also did it in the same order. WHAT FUN!!

Plane Game - We threw paper planes at each other with the messages Jai Shri Ram, Hari Om. It was very enjoyable seeing kids throw paper planes in the classroom.

Story and Craft

	STORY: Hanuman is a great messenger Hanuman jumps high high high into Lanka in the hopes of meeting Sita mata. Finally, he sees Sita mata in a garden called Ashoka Vanam. He sings the song "Jaya Siya Rama, Jaya Jaya Siya Rama". Sita is so glad to hear the name of Rama. Hanuman gives her Rama's ring and delivers the message that he is coming to rescue her. Sita mata is so happy that Hanuman is such a good messenger.
