Lopamudra conducted 3 storytelling sessions in one day. She went on to conduct 3 more sessions in the month of June. Lopamudra is a storyteller and an educator who loves to be surrounded by children and join them in shouting, jumping, running, dancing etc.
This is what Lopamudra had to say about her sessions:
17th June 2014
Session: 2 sessions for 1 hour each for children in the age group of 5-7 years
Book: Junior Kumbhakarna by Arundhati Venkatesh
Place: Mumbai
Language of Storytelling: English
Total Number of Children: 11
It was an action- based storytelling.
Concept 1: Exposure to new words from the book, meaniings and reading the words
This was done by finger-placed reading and actions of the words were done as it was uttered. Then they had to play dumbcharade with the same words to reinforce reading , understanding and enacting.
Concept 2: Concept of Title, Cover page and Author and characters
They were provided with book made of plain paper which was stapled into a book format. They had to write the title of their story and use any two charater from the story and create a story and they themselves are the author . ( This activity will continue in the next session )

Place: Mumbai
Language of Storytelling: English
Total Number of Children: 6
It was an action- based storytelling.
Concept 1: Exposure to understanding the action words.
When I read the word, I enacted and children followed the action. Then played a game of " Fire in the mountain run children run with repeatation of action words and actions accordingly.
Concept of Character: Different characters drawn on a piece of paper. They had to identify the character and colour.
