Children are naturally curious and love listening to stories. Our teachers narrate the Ramayana in a way that preschoolers can relate to, using visuals, puppets, or story cards. The focus is not on the complexity of the epic but on simple lessons—why being truthful, brave, and kind matters in everyday life 

Festivals become more exciting when children can use their hands and imagination. During Dussehra, our preschoolers engage in craft activities like making Ravana masks, decorating crowns for Ram and Sita, or even simple paper puppets. These activities boost creativity, improve motor skills, and make learning about traditions interactive. 

Nothing excites children more than dressing up! We organize short skits where children play characters like Ram, Sita, Hanuman, and Ravana. Role play not only makes them confident but also helps them absorb the values of teamwork, courage, and honesty. Watching their friends perform also inspires shy children to participate in the future. 

Games are a great way to blend play with learning. For example, activities like “target the Ravana heads” or teamwork-based challenges make the celebration engaging while reinforcing the festival’s core message. Through play, children understand that challenges can be overcome with courage and togetherness.

After the fun, we guide children to reflect on what Dussehra means. Teachers ask simple questions like: “How can we be kind to our friends?” or “Why is telling the truth important?” This helps them connect the festival with their daily life. Parents are also encouraged to continue these conversations at home, making learning consistent and meaningful. 

At Wings and Waves Preschool, we see Dussehra as more than just a festival—it’s a chance to nurture character and values in young children. By combining storytelling, crafts, role play, games, and discussions, we ensure that children not only enjoy the celebration but also carry with them the timeless lesson that truth, kindness, and courage always win in the end.
