ONE MINUTE GAME (5/10/12)

Sports, games and competitions bring a lot of fun to the students. They also nurture qualities of sportsmanship, honesty and integrity. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. They bring out their inherent talent. In a way they help the students to develop decision making skills.

 We, at Orchids, conducted one minute game for the students of classes Nursery to V on 05/10/12. The students exhibited their talents in one minute. Our students truly enjoyed this moment a lot. Entertainment was packed with competition.
