Quiz on Uncle Lion’s Tales - 5

In May 2015, Radio Sai offered the first episode of Uncle Lion’s Tales series. The intention was to convey values in a visually engaging format, meant especially for children and teenagers.

Since then 85 such stories have been published and the response from viewers has been highly encouraging.

Even as we prepare to present more such animated value stories, maybe it is a good idea to revisit these tales and perhaps spend more time with them so that we make the most of what we have now.

Below are some suggested group specific activities for gurus of Bal Vikas / SSE / EHV to use as a guide for a class activity post joint viewing of the Episode of Uncle Lion’s Tales. A parent / grandparent viewing the episode with their ward can also use these to impart values / good habits.

We invite gurus to send in any other questions that they raised in class through which they were able to impart valuable teaching or provoke a meaningful discussion.

Questions Based on the story “True Richness” (Season 2 – Episode 6)

 

For Group 2

For children aged between 9 and 12

The questions are related to the episode but not necessarily based on it.  EHV gurus can skip the questions that would not conform to their syllabus.

The following questions are open ended and intended to provoke meaningful class discussions. Gurus are welcome to encourage their students to write out the answers in about 300 to 500 words each, select the best answers for each question and to upload them on the comments section below the quiz:

  1. Who do you think learnt a greater lesson in the story – the father or the son? Why do you say so?

  2. Share a holiday experience when you have felt one with nature and felt blessed to be part of the beauty.
