Fancy frolics contest

Tribune News Service

Jalandhar: Ivy World School, under the aegis of the Vasal Educational Society, organised Fancy Frolics Competition. A fancy dress competition not only blends learning with fun but also helps students develop confidence by giving them an opportunity to speak in front of others. Children were dressed in various costumes. They learned to imitate the mannerisms of the character or object they were dressed as, and, even created their own special traits and themes, which encouraged children to think outside the box, practice different emotions, and use their language skills to communicate. Fancy dress play also encourages children to express their point of view of the world around them. The children did a phenomenal job at the event. They were enthusiastic about dressing up for the event and with the assistance of their parents, submitted short video clips of themselves wearing their fancy dresses gleefully explaining the importance of it. Through their innocent enthusiasm and colorful imagination, children turned the event into a roaring success. The purpose of conducting the competition was not only to blend learning with fun but also to develop confidence in the students.
