• We colored a picture of Garuda.
• We had a quiz on the story of the Samudra Manthan to make sure that they remember the story well.
• We then watched the Samudra Manthan story on the Chinmaya Kids website on Jeevan Uncle's projector - http://www.chinmayakids.org/dashavatar/kurma_avatar/kurma_default.asp
