Activity - Old Year/New Year
- Old Year: Think back about all the stories and articles you read in the Bal Prakash this year. How many can you still remember? Which ones were your favourites? Go round your family and get everyone to share theirs.
- New Year: Following Vedanshiben’s example, think of a hobby that you already do or that you’d like to start. Set a goal, write it down on a piece of paper and stick it on the fridge so everyone can see.
- Now, you just need to practice regularly and see if you can reach that goal in 2025!
