Navratri Party
It's dandiya time! Organize
a great Navratri party for your kids and their pals!
Music 2 cassettes should be more than enough
for your party. Try and get your hands on a Falguni Pathak tape and an
Aati Kya Dandiya Mein - Non Stop Disco Dandiya tape.
Invitations Send out lovely, ethnic invites.
You could make them yourself. Cut out cards from an earthen coulour chart
paper, and border it with thick 'mauli' (red thread). Take some yellow
and orange paint and make bunches of three dots on the corner of the card.
Make a beautiful Om sign on the top centre of the card, and, with a gold
pen, write out the invitation.
Dress Make sure you include the dress code
in the invite. The children must be made to dress up in traditional wear.
Salwar kameezes for the boys and ghagras for the girls.
Sticks The children could bring their own
dandiya sticks along, or you could distribute sticks at the party. Take
a 'mauli' and tie some tiny jingle bells to each dandiya stick.
Ghungroos and Scarves Children love receiving presents
at any party. So give all the girls ghungroos, and the boys, saffron cotton
scarves, which they can tie around their waist or forehead. This can be
included in your back present budget.
Games Although it is a dandiya party, remember,
the children will just dance for a short period of time, after which they
will want to run around and play, so keep some party games planned and
ready.
Tablas Keep a couple of tablas on a mattress
and let the children take turns playing them. If you have any other Indian
musical instruments like a harmonium (not sitar, you don't want broken
strings!), you could keep that out as well.
