Every month, one day at Parivartan is reserved exclusively for games with a view to provide the children a diversion from the regular classes while also inculcating virtues like team work and healthy competition. Today was such a day. With winter gradually setting in, it was somehow appropriate that Game Day had arrived.

Prof. Lokesh Upreti started off the day by asking the children why games are an important part of our life. Some responses came in the form of fair play and competitiveness. Prof. Upreti added elements like teamwork, exemplifying it through sports like football and cricket.

The game that the volunteers had chosen for the day was the ‘Freeze Dance’. The rules were very simple. The children had to dance when the music was played. As soon as it was switched off, they had to freeze like statues. Those who failed to do so would be eliminated.

For the purpose of the game the children were divided into two groups for older and smaller children, each group being arranged in a circle. The routine was repeated until two winners were identified from each group. Since the game involved dancing, it goes without saying that there was no end to the excitement and enthusiasm. While everybody readily joined in the conduct of the games, special mention needs to be made of Nagesh and Sachin, the former playing the music, and both taking the lead in controlling the swaying crowds.

The 4 winners received a "tennis racket set" each. The day concluded with the distribution of "Bikano Peanuts" and "Ravalgon Pan Pasand" toffees among the children. Dr. Indraneel Mandal accompanied and motivated the student volunteers. Prof. Lokesh Upreti guided the volunteers in the conduct of the programme as the faculty coordinator of CSR Club - Parivartan.
