1st Feb - Summary of Hanuman Dhayana Shloka

After a short break of about a month, our classes joyfully resumed, bringing back familiar smiles and energy. It felt wonderful to gather again and begin just the way we love to — with opening prayers.

We started with a fun and engaging activity: the Dhyāna Shloka card game. Through play, kids recalled the words and meanings of the Dhyāna Śloka. Next class, we would have more quiz and games. 

In coming classes we will be learning Hanuman Chalisa, a brief introduction was given to the kids and we learnt first two lines of the Doha. Coming classes we will be learning the chalisa with meaning.

We played kids Favorite, Hanuman Says and Memory game and ended our class with closing prayers.
