We did TAKLOO storytelling session in my Brainsmart class (in Mumbai) on 26th August. We received the Takloo book in Hindi and we presented in 'Hinglish' (Hindi + English).  Number of kids present there were 20.

We did story telling of 'Takloo' by teachers and older kids. We did role play and dramatisation of the story, colouring of 'pot', discussed concepts of optimum pot, coins tale.... and full fun. 

I used little boy Takloo's story for pumping inspiration and a creative idea generation exercise with my students. It was altogether a cheerful wonderful experience for all of us there.
