Story Telling Competition

Story Telling Competition

“There is no friend as loyal as a book” – Ernest Hemingway.

Telling stories with #morals is one of the best ways of instilling values in a child. The extent to which we are influenced by moral stories can’t be quantified. Stories can be fun, teach us important things, make us feel motivated and inspired, and tell us what is right and wrong. It is stories that give wings to our imagination and take us places.

To keep the tradition going and to incite curiosity and love of reading in children, a Story telling Competition was held for the Kindergarten Wing on 29th January-2024. The young story tellers enthusiastically participated in the competition with great zeal. They expressed moral based stories and tales with a variety of props making it interesting for the audience. The competition was judged on the basis of expression, confidence and presentation skills of the students. The young Storytellers moved everyone’s hearts and were applauded profoundly.
