Run to Pack Your Bags: A Fun and Educational Competition at Dr. SSNP School
On July 20, 2024, Dr. SS National Public School Davanagere hosted an exciting inter-house activity for Nursery, LKG, and UKG students. The “Run to Pack Your Bags” competition was designed to enhance students’ concentration, focus, and gross motor skills. Additionally, the event aimed to teach young learners the importance of organizing their school bags.
Activity Overview
The activity combined physical exercise with a vital life skill: packing a school bag. Various items typically found in a school bag, such as pencils, books, erasers, and notebooks, were placed in the middle of the lanes on the playground. Each student started at the beginning of the lane, with an empty school bag waiting at the finish line.
How It Worked
Upon the start signal, students ran to the middle of the lane to pick one item. They then ran to the finish line to place it in their school bag. Students continued running back and forth, collecting one item at a time, until they packed their school bags with all the necessary supplies. The first student to correctly and completely pack their school bag with all the required items won the competition.
