Abstract

In the post-pandemic context, I have been looking for effective mediums to engage children in a way that their interest in learning gradually returns. Play and theatre-based activities have always been my go-to mode of expression to engage with children in an easy and fun-filled manner in a classroom. Physical movement and facial expressions have helped me break the language barrier since I am a south Indian working in a region where Bundelkhandi is the first language of the children. In the initial days of my classroom practice, I always ensured that I took the class through different sets of warm-ups and various in-between activities so that the children stayed engaged and the energy of the class remains high.
