It is rightly said by someone that, “Let us progress ourselves, it is the best way of making others progress.”

Here at Atmiya Vidya Mandir, we get to do many unique projects. One such project is ‘Let’s upgrade ourselves’, made by students of grade 6. In that, students had to create a theme-based Snakes & Ladders game. It was a language project through which students also got an opportunity to use their creativity, presentation skills and teamwork.

The themes for the project were:

• Good habits & bad habits
• Virtues & vices
• Be like a lion & be like a goat
• Excessive use of computers & reading books
• Being Atmiya & being egoistic
• Positive senses & Negative senses

The project was accomplished in the following steps:

• Brainstorming on the given theme
• Shortlisting the phrases
• Writing write-ups for the phrases
• Editing by the teacher
• Finalising the points
• Drawing and making a game board

Students wore thinking caps and tried to give the best of themselves. The project made learning English fun & interesting for all of us. It was not only a Snakes & Ladders game but also an example of learning an art of living through English.
