The special activity of August is how helping kids to experience the relationship with neighbours and know what role our neighbours play in our life? How they share our happy moments and not so happy moments?  Shikshikas shall introduce the topic may also wants to talk about interesting things in our BB neighbourhood, like gardens, any famous temple, statue, personality, market etc. Parents shall be invited and  BB kids can make a craft Namaste Ji cards (2-10) from this months magazine, try and visit our neighbours, greet them with Namaste, give them our beautiful card, introduce yourself, and also invite them to our BB. Kids can note down in a diary, their experience of meeting neighbour’s and narrate them in the special BB. Kids can have a healthy competition between them to visit as many neighbour’s as possible. Please encourage parents also to share their feeling about this activity, how kids prepared and how they felt after meeting/greeting their neighbours. Let’s remember to give more curiosity than the knowledge/Information to our kids!

It can be made as a game also by asking kids to tell how many neighbours they greeted and said Namaste, and kids should be able to tell about them ( a simple INTRO) to other kids, like, telling a good thing about them, or a skill that they have which they can teach to all kids.
